Hello Bigger Pockets Community,I am just getting my feet wet in real estate, and having read multiple "beginner" books, I find myself asking the same questions over and over: Where do I find deals to analyze?

@Lauren KendallWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

My long term goal is to have enough income from my investments to cover my cost of living and be financially free.I found out about Bigger Pockets through my growing interest in real estate and investing in general.

@Arlan Potter thank you so much for the advice, that is great to know as I am thinking to start small as well, and learn as I go then do bigger projects, rental properties are in my plan but a little further in the future, as I would like to use my energy for the time being since I have it.
