@Alex Schumer I see that your new to real estate - congrats in this life changing journey.  

Going through my real estate journey I have learned a lot, I am 24, a veteran and a graduate from Temple University,I started with aspirations of investing on a property and making a quick flip.My problem lied with fear of failing, my capital and my savings.I decided I wanted to learn the real estate market and know the ins and outs before I would make a bold choice on buying my first real estate home.

Best of luck on your continued journey, HELOCS can be a great tool to utilize untapped equity in a house.

I personally have no connections with anyone who is involved in this niche and I'm wondering how other people have started their journey.

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

And it sold for more because I was accessible and right there walking with them in their buying journey. 

I’m excited to get started on my real estate journey.

It wasn't easy and sure as hell was not as frightening as your journey, but it was rewarding nonetheless.
