I understand about bringing value and with my extensive knowledge of investing in the financial markets, I think I could help a savvy investor and offer a lot of information, but I feel like because of my young age and inexperience I will be highly doubted and criticized.

Ive been really interested in learning more about REAL ESTATE for about 3 years now but with all the clutterness i had, i never had the time to expand my knowledge.

Per his information he does 20-30% cash returns on 40 and 75 units he bough over the last 2 years.Such a high units count is totally new area of knowledge for me.

Depending on your experience level though it might make sense to flip 2-3 houses first to understand how to deal with contractors, lawyers, lenders, agents, etc when the stakes are lower.Even though apartments are commercial properties, getting some of the basics under your belt will result in 2 key benefits:You will have a good idea of estimates for normal repairs to the units and can better understand what properties will take once you purchase them to bring them up to your desired standard for the area.Your potential investors might have more faith in your performance if you have some other investing experience under your belt - might even want to consider getting 1-2 rentals to help with this "resume building" if you are going for a number of investors that may not have personal knowledge of your capabilities. .

And you are locked in with the extra annual payment even in times when your cash flow is suffering, such as during a prolonged vacancy or eviction.If you want to get faster pay down, just make an annual contribution to additional principal equal to one month's payment.

I think real estate sales will help satisfy some of that and at the same time build my knowledge base... and the networking will be great too!

It's an expense in time and money.

Go take some RE agent class and start off with some real RE knowledge, you don't need to get a license, but you could, to make money while keeping your job.

My plan is to purchase a property, rent it, hold on to it and repeat until I have enough rentals to retire happily ever after.This is a great site/app to gain knowledge and learn from others.Thank you,Diane

It has taken me a full year to complete the interior renovation, but after the appraisal that we just got back we have increased the value over 200K.Looking to gain as much knowledge as possible before diving into the non-owner occupied world.SK
