Hello,I am potentially a new investor, along with my wife we are looking to learn as much as we can in the real estate business, We are not looking to create an empire at this moment in time but we are eager to learn, learn, learn in order to create base hits and acquire enough cash flow for future investment.

The downside is that we've already been experiencing this boom for a number of years, so you won't be able to find cheap lipstick-job multifamilies anymore like you still can in some parts of the midwest.

I joined Bigger Pockets, first and foremost, in hopes of reaching out to a mentor in the area who might help an aspiring investor, while also taking in anything I can in the mean time.

I am like a sponge right now and want to absorb as much as I can in order to feel ready to purchase my 1st home in the 7-11 month range.

If by yield you mean cash on cash return or Internal rate of return(IRR) You most certainly can. In

I'm trying to learn everything I can in the meantime. 

That takes time to develop, so start now if you can. In

so I currently work two full time jobs whiles aging up every penny that I can in order to start investing.

Sure.It sounds generic but we've tackled about every kind of project one can in the 6yrs we've been in business.

I'm hoping to learn from the community, network with other investors, and hopefully be able to help whoever I can in any capacity with buying or selling residential real estate.Looking forward to hearing (and working) with all of you.Today's the Day!
