Looking forward to real estate investment opportunities

Hi Luz, congrats on taking your first steps into real estate investing.

Determine a goal you’d like to work toward financially, is it “financial freedom” (whatever that means to you), buying a business, becoming self employed, becoming a full time real estate investor, having enough cash for your kids college education, having enough to retire, becoming a centi millionaire, etc.3.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

The scammers do indeed do a disservice to people who have real disabilities and qualified service/assistance animals.However, read up on Fair Housing laws and assistance animals.

I'm starting my real estate investment journey in the U.S.

Find a real estate investment group in your area and see if you can find an experienced investor you mesh with. 

Also, I have heard success stories of folks finding good contractors at the home improvement stores early in the AM.

If I am starting out as a real estate investor interested in being a rental landlord (still working out the main type of rental I want to work with), can I refinance the house with a higher rate and make it a rental to my husband as my first rental?
