Quote from @Jade Frank: Hi, I'm Jade and I'm looking to get started with real estate investing.

As with most people starting out - having the 20%-30% equity to put in the deal is the challenge. 

Back when I started selling foreclosures, the REO (real estate owned) inventory was crazy high.

I would say that is not a great way to start.

I’m getting re-acquainted with the BP community after purchasing my first house hack in the Pittsburgh area, and would love to make some connections with other like-minded young professionals and investors in the area.And if there’s anyone out there who’s just getting started and looking to make the jump to buy their first property, I’d love to offer up advice, share my network of contractors in the area, and answer any questions that I can from my experience over the last 6 months!

I am starting a new real estate business called Upgrade Real Estate & Moving.

I am 18 years old and I am very interested in CRE Investing and I need some advice on how to get started and if there is any videos that can help me get started.

I'll be happy to try to help you start off "on the right foot."

I started investing here in 2016 so it's been 8-9 years for me.
