It's encouraging to hear all the stories of many successful real estate investors who started with nothing.

I admire the passion to get started.

I would highly suggest you do not start remote for your first deal.

@Josh Early @Matt McMacken - I'm considering starting one at my new office location at 1555 state st. 

You don’t want your lien wiped off should the 1st go to foreclosure, and you don’t have cash to bring it current and start your own foreclosure.

In fact, I just originated a loan with a loan officer at the 4th bank in which we've originated loans together & now originate $8M loans with bankers who originated $80K loans for me when I started.

It's also how McDonald's started its operations, by renting ground and building on the leased land.I would really want to own the land for a home and keep looking tbh.

Would like to start our REI journey by converting our primary single family home into a rental.

I have a lot of knowledge I'm hoping to gain so even if I am missing out on some of the profit I could have made, to me knowledge is something you cannot put a price on when starting out.

Do I need to start at different price?
