It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a potential deal, but skipping this step can lead to costly mistakes.Getting your real estate license is also a solid strategy just realize once you have a license wholesaling may not be in the cards as its a very gray area.Lastly, since you're planning to buy properties for yourself in 2026, start laying the groundwork now.

Congrats on taking the first steps! 

While I didn't want to stay there permanently, it was a stepping stone to build my track record. 

Being out of the country adds some extra steps.

I've been interested in real estate investment since college but I've either been without the capital or without the confidence to take the first step.

HI,I was curious to hear from other professionals, when you have a tenant for a couple of years, and then he wants to add a new person to the lease, what steps would you take?

I am new to the group, real estate investing in general, and trying to learn so that I can take my first step into real estate.

Your goal is to plant the idea in their mind and create a situation where selling to you feels like the easiest and most logical solution for them.If you haven’t already, the first step is to get pre-approved for a mortgage so you know what you could afford if you were to purchase the property conventionally.

However since you have a charge in your lease and they knew about it they could have taken those steps themselves prior to moving out.

I think that many people are not equipped to handle all of these steps.
