As I go through this journey I have also decided to educate myself in real estate investment so that I can be best prepared for July 2020, this is the point when I will be debt-free and will be shifting all my energy to actively investing in real estate utilizing the BRRR method.To that end, I have made it a goal to analyze 2 properties per day so I can become familiar with my area and become comfortable analyzing properties...and that is where my issue is.

Bigger Pockets is a great place to get educated in the Real estate market.

To take measure of self, to learn and improve from "education via pain". 

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Here are a few steps you can take to begin your journey:Education: Start by educating yourself about real estate investing.

In general, you will want 25% of the purchase price to buy the property, but you should also maintain a reserve to deal with unforeseen expenses like vacancies, maintenance, etc.Before you even begin, I think you should focus on a little education.1.

Of course, I don't think putting all my capital towards my student loans is appropriate, and I don't regret them either and I received an excellent business education from great schools. 

Always maintain a reserve in case you have a vacancy, surprise maintenance, etc.I would start with some basic education, watching podcasts, and then networking with investors in your area.

One is interested, but doesn't like to put in the work to educate himself.

Plus, there’s lots of fun to be had outside of the education, and we have 3 events planned for everyone to attend while on-site!
