Since this opportunity came up, I've begun to take real estate more seriously as a path to financial freedom.

@Kevin ApolinarioCongratulations on taking the steps toward your first real estate investment!

Do you sell / buy real estate in Mexico personally? 

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.You need to get a firm grasp on two things: the ways to make money with real estate, and how to find deals that match your goals.P.S.

Probably not enough the IRA to own real estate given reserves needed and such.

I would like to start investing in real estate once I get situated down there.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

Having a real estate license, I would credit the commission payed out I would receive for being my own agent towards closing costs for the new property.

Hello all, Has anyone either used or heard about a company called HouseCashin or Real Estate Bees?

Starting out in real estate can feel overwhelming, but breaking it into clear steps makes it manageable.
