I think your head is in the right place, but you've chosen a bunch of shiny objects over building relationships with real-life investors near you.When you say you've been trying to get your hands on real estate for a year, what do you really mean?

Welcome @Kiara SpenceThere's alot of great points mentioned.You'll surely want to understand your budget, narrow your focus/objective, work with a lender/broker that understands your goals and put the right people in your corner to help identify deals.Are you going to reside in your primary and buy the rental?

And since you asked, what needs to be done to get your product out there is not to send 30 people into a forum to dispute a random question asked by a user where a couple of "gentlemen" tried to warn new investors not to trust another shiny object where they tell you on the site that you get a discount for doing a video testimonial.I don't have to be right, which is another sign you didn't read the comments and are another harbinger of REI Reply sent here to try to "turn the thread around."
