I've been passionate about real estate investing since high school and just bought my first property.

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,My fiancé and I are beginning our real estate investment journey but we live and work in one of the most expensive markets in the world - even though we are 20 minutes from San Francisco there is not a property in our city listed at under 1 million (yes).So I recently took a trip to Costa Rica for the sole purpose of identifying regions we would like to invest in and ended up finding a fantastic little condo for our starter property.

However if you only invest it in training, then at the end you have lost $50,000 and still don't own anything.There are a lot less inexpensive ways to learn about real estate in my opinion.Don't fall for any high pressure techniques from any guru.....the typical scenario is to go to a free 2-3 hour training session. 

I know a few expeditors that could at least give it to you straight and point you in the right direction, even if you don't end up hiring them. 

All these things will take time on your end.

Most people skimp on thinking about this and that's what ends up hurting them when it comes to renting them out.

As you run your business, you may have to buy a new roof unexpectedly, or replace the hvac system unexpectedly, or replace kitchen items on a turn because they've been destroyed or reached the end of their service life.
