I bought my first property with 20% down and spent 2 months fixing it myself (I hired a contractor to fix the things I am not allowed to fix such as electric).

To be specific, my steps to fully get into this world so far have been: Buy my first home Sign up to BiggerPockets website Listen to the first 5 podcasts (loving it)Send this messageEvaluate specialized Masters in R.E and meet with alumni and teachers plus attend one class as a guest observerMeet with friends working in the industry (mainly working for big Funds and Developers)Bought the 13 most widely recommended books in R.E.

Asking because my son has an attic apartment in his house which is a stone’s throw from a hotel, a 3 building campus for a tech employer and they are building a mega 7-11 type store in front of the hotel...walk to all three.

I just bought the books on rental property and the management of rental property.

So while I have bought 4 homes in my lifetime, I am new to real estate investing and have a general question about realtors. 

Bought it for 199k, estimating about 25k of rehab and it comps for about 262k and hard money will be around 10k.

Fast forward 3 years... we’ve both built our credit, bought our primary residence, have two kids with a third on the way, solid middle class jobs, and some consumer debt.We were gung-ho to get going in 2019 after bonus and tax time to get a rental property finally.

I will use my garage to store my personal things like paper files with personal information, photo albums, nice cooking pots and such.
