Hi everyone,I’m looking to dive into the real estate market here in the Des Moines/Metro area and would love to connect with experienced investors, agents, or professionals who are willing to share their insights.I’m particularly interested in learning about your experiences in this market—what’s worked for you, lessons learned, and any advice you’d have for someone getting started.

Hang out with others that are doing what you want to do and invest your $25-$50,000 in real estate vs education. 

I would suggest leasing a commercial space for your business first before you go straight to purchasing a space.

Try not to get overwhelmed as there’s a lot of information on BP and many avenues within real estate investing.When I was starting out, I was interested in so many strategies, but I discovered that I did my best when I focused on one or two and really built my knowledge around them.

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

I'd be happy to talk with you further about how to leverage your real estate license in pursuing your investment goals.

If you’re just getting started in real estate, feel free to reach out – I’ve been coaching a new investor in the Houston market for a while and am happy to help you however I can.

@Dylan Jeluso see if you can join a team in your real estate office to gain experience.

@Sean O'Keefe can I get a copy of the real estate professional logbook?

Meetup is a fantastic app to find real estate meetings around you, and look for local REIA (real estate investor associations) and attend a bunch of meetings.
