Hi Rennell, welcome to BiggerPockets and the exciting journey into real estate investing!

I’d love to connect with anyone willing to share a little bit about their investing journey and its challenges, or someone who is simply looking to connect.

I have met some great people on my journey, and I am looking forward to meeting more great people here.My relocation is a reset for me.

Hi Joshua,It’s great to hear you’re starting your real estate investment journey.

Educate yourself with books, podcasts, and market research, define your goals, and build a team of professionals to support your journey.

Going through my real estate journey I have learned a lot, I am 24, a veteran and a graduate from Temple University,I started with aspirations of investing on a property and making a quick flip.My problem lied with fear of failing, my capital and my savings.I decided I wanted to learn the real estate market and know the ins and outs before I would make a bold choice on buying my first real estate home.

It’s great to have you here.Best of luck on your real estate journey!

To start your journey, I recommend focusing on building your network by joining meetups and engaging in online forums, while narrowing down your first investment based on your budget, market, and goals.

My only regret is that I never considered real estate decades ago, but I look forward to this journey and the impact it will have on my family.
