My name is Brendan Bellantoni and I am a 27 year old man looking to finally get my feet wet in real estate investing.  

Hello Fellow BP Partners, I am getting ready to set my budget and get my toes wet with wholesaling.

I used to live in the Bronx but now living in Kentucky trying to get my feet wet in real estate investing.

Eager to get my feet wet, spending alot of time learning on BP!

Spoke to some contractors I know in my industry and found good people that is ready to start renovating these properties for me, whether is a flip (to get feet wet) or my actual goal " Buy and Hold".

I've heard from numerous people that the best way to approach this is:1.

From doing some research and listening to numerous podcasts, I have found that a 203K loan sounds like an awesome way to get into the real estate game.

I think you should try some smaller investments to get your feet wet and see if its what you think it is. 

You also live right next to your tenants, a tip I got from a member was if tenants ask if you are the landlord, let them know you have to check with your "parter" when making decisions.I think it is a fantastic way to get started, since you get your feet wet with Property management and also have a primary residence 

I like the idea of using it to get my feet wet in rentals, but part of me says to take advantage of the higher home values in my area by selling it now and then getting into rentals with some of the proceeds.
