The biggest signs you are a procrastinating newbie:1.)

Hire a pro and let the pro get the best prices.Scope of work is hard for newbies because they don't even know what put in there so how would you tell someone new to learn what should even be in there?

Seasoned investor buyers often grumble about having to school their agents on investing, and the newbie will benefit from your hands on experience.

As a newbie, I think it's a great idea to be a short distance/drive away from your 1st investments!

So in a significant recession, merely being active or passive is not actually a way to avoid losses.Finally, there are a lot of active investors who lose their money even *outside* of a recession because they make too many newbie mistakes.

A good way for a newbie to understand the variety is to visit a website like Crowd Street, ShareSFR, FinResi etc.

I've got the basics down like schools, jobs, good/bad neighbourhoods, but as a newbie investor, I'm wondering if there are any insider tips you could share.Thanks again for your help

But how can a "newbie" help other seasoned investors?

Hi Daniel, I am a newbie investor in the Sacramento area.

Hello Jennifer,I saw your post and had some questions if you're willing to guide a newbie :) We just closed on our first investment property and the numbers for rental rates dropped in the Mesquite area since we put our deposit down.
