I have gotten super obsessed with the idea of being an investor and buying property.Here is where I’m coming from31SingleTulsa, OKWaiter/Substitute teacherIn grad school75k student loan debtCredit in the mid to high 500’sVery little access to cashI understand this won’t be an overnight fix for me, but I’m committed to owning my first brrrr property in the next two years.Outside of working on my credit what steps can I take right now to close on my first brrrr property in the next two years?

If you can find someone with CoStar access, that will give you a lot of info too, depending on size of property you have. 

How can general newbie investors get access to such resources?

The only access to the road it sits on is by going under one of two bridges.

@Lindsey Zibell I would look at the Golden area for your primary: quick access to the mountains, charming quintessential “Colorado” downtown, schools are pretty good and getting better, high chance of appreciation.

There are single premium products and people do use them if they’re not interested in accessing the cash value before death.

Some examples of potential future drivers will be: something similar to what Bush did when he signed the American Dream Downpayment Act of 2003, China easing up on Capital Controls (this would be a great sign, but with trade war and China's issues with their own economy I seriously doubt this), IPOs over last 2 years creating much needed wealth for employees (takes 12-24 months for them to be able to exercise stock options), a dot com like bubble in the stock market (I think this is most likely scenario given stock buybacks and QE and I won't be surprised to see stocks doing something absolutely unbelievable over the next 1-5 years similar to 97-end of dot com bubble), or heavy doses of QE and easier access to credit for most people.Working in the Bay Area, we saw first hand how many buyers were foreign and how many paid for houses in cash without even looking at the homes in quite a few cases. 

Just never dealt with driveby only no access and will not disclose C/O’s needed or has.( which i think is mainly basement)Thank you.

Then if you have more time, access to internet, and a good phone line (none of which were guaranteed on either of my ships), you can start doing flips or BRRRs. 

Decide how much money you have access to, & the zip codes, city or state you want to focus on.
