Something like this where you could live in the remodeled basement and rent out the full house would be a great introduction into real estate and really set you up for success. 

@Linval T.has a great introduction he shares with newcomers with great links to get you going in the right direction.

Thanks for a great introduction...and...welcome to the forum!

welcome and thank you for the great introduction.

Great introduction.

It super educational and you'll get a great introduction to what BiggerPockets has to offer.Check out the "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing".

@Scott Passman Great introduction; everyone has to start somewhere! 

I recently graduated college and started my career as a mechanical engineer and have recently decided that while I love my job I don't want to work for the rest of my life, and real estate investing makes the most sense to me in order to gain financial freedom before I turn 60.I have been reading a ton of real estate books and discovered the bigger pockets book on rental property investing which gave me a great introduction to all the topics and possibilities in real estate.

A great introduction that provides actionable steps to get started is Michael Blank’s book “Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing.”

Great introduction - so glad you found Bigger Pockets early in your journey!
