I am not sure if our current investments can play a role in our loan process, which is why I am turning to the Bigger Pockets community. 

Hi All,A friend referred me to Bigger Pockets because I'm interested in real estate.

I recently graduated college and started my career as a mechanical engineer and have recently decided that while I love my job I don't want to work for the rest of my life, and real estate investing makes the most sense to me in order to gain financial freedom before I turn 60.I have been reading a ton of real estate books and discovered the bigger pockets book on rental property investing which gave me a great introduction to all the topics and possibilities in real estate.

I guess i will have to do further research, as i know i need to go into pockets that make sense with the numbers, but also wont cause me to look over my shoulder if i have to make frewuent visits for repairs.thank you both!

But it increased the value of my home by about $150-$200k and I didn’t pay a dime out of pocket for any of the construction.

Hey I am new too I think you should join a group and connect with people that way David Moore is hosting one this go to https://www.meetup.com/Bigger-Pockets-West-Metro-M... and check it out I think it is close to you. 

Is their anyone here on bigger pockets that lives here in the state that I can talk with and possibly pick up some pointers from?

Then we found bigger pockets and read about the BRRRR method.Last year, we bought our first BRRRR, a HUD foreclosure in May.

Carting around someone not all 4 of those things would not be worth it.In theory, it costs you nothing out of pocket to have a buyer's agent, but for those of us that go solo, it gives us room for more concessions.
