Hi @Shatrice Cherry, I'm based in Southern California, but I have started my out-of-state real estate journey in Indianapolis.

I’m currently in Nigeria Africa, and seriously thinking about moving to the States to start a career as a real estate entrepreneur. 

Initially we had intended on starting our real estate journey through multi-family house hacking, but this opportunity popped up first and it was hard to ignore.

There has been a slight uptick in the homeless population since the pandemic started, but they are usually pretty harmless. 

I decided to post my thoughts in the “Starting Out” category hoping to get your attention knowing there are service providers waiting in the wings ready to take advantage of your unfounded beliefs and further upsell you through scare tactics.

I started small and grew it over time.

That's why a lot of new wholesalers struggle when they first start.

All depends what matches your goals the best to get started.  

Hopefully, this provides perspective.Keep in mindThe Fed started hiking rates in March 2022, and only stopped tightening in July 2023, having lifted short-term interest rates by 525 basis points or 5.25%.Average 30-yr mortgage rates started moving aggressively upward a bit earlier (in January 2022) and only peaked (at just over 8%) in October 2023.
