As long as the learning isn't interfering with your main source of income I'd go for it.

Hey there- we help clients get into investment properties in Denver and Colorado Springs, and would say the main thing is to be very clear on what your most important metric is (cash on cash, cash flow, cap rate, etc.) because we often see people look at multiple metrics, which can make it very hard to make a decision.

hi there @Colin Dunne, welcome to the world of bpthere are many ways to go about investing in real estate and the truth is that there is no wrong way of going about it.as long as you #getstarted is the main thing, oh yes and don't lose money, there is some great information out there is on this website as well as youtube etc. the podcasts on here are amazing and they allow you to hear others successful stories as well as what was their motivation to get them going and continue pushing on.i'm soon starting my own meet up here in the area and bring in people that can help along the ways through this process,i'll keep you posted on the dates.

I learned about gohome in Maine from this article: https://www.prefabreview.com/blog/the-best-prefab-...But I'm open to considering others as well

The main issue is whether the return to you cashflow wise is better if you just pay the rehab and rent it traditionally. 

If you set your foundation TO BE a website, and you are planning to use your website as the main means to be found, then sure a website is the way to go first.BUT, if you manage to get a fantastic credibility score with your facebook page, twitter page, youtube channel, where you broadcast all your purchases, have a series of house flipping adventures all recorded, and the entire state raves about your facebook page with a ton of shares comments and reviews... do you think a desperate seller is going to pass you by because "I see no cheap wix site"?

Leverage is probably the main reason people go broke in this business.

the Cash on Cash return and the Debt Servicing Ratio are the main things I look at first. 

The main benefit of this is that you'll have a team leader sending you leads and (if they're a good team leader) teaching you how to convert.Lastly... once you're settled in at your brokerage, make sure to tell EVERYONE you know that you are Licensed Realtor!...
