I'm starting my journey of switching from long term fixer upper rentals over to new construction STRs in the Pocono area.

These situations are extremely hard financially, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. 

Happy New Year as well to everyone and to their New Year Journey.

This seemed to be the perfect opportunity to get started on that journey.

I'm not quite getting your question.If you're looking to start your journey in real estate, feel free to DM me.I'll be happy to help you and anyone else through all steps.

Im currently having discussions with 13 year old that he has a choice to either get a job flipping burgers at Mcdonalds (there is nothing wrong with that) for $1000 a month (working 16 hrs a week at $15 an hour) or helping me manage one of my building (currently 12 units total) for $500 a month.Any advice or easy reads to pass along the journey im about to take my kids on?

If you are interested in sharing with us why you love BiggerPockets, how it has helped you in your REI journey and share your success story more in depth, I want to hear from you! 

You and many of us on this forum have started our journey by holding on to our primary home and renting it when we moved.  

Good luck on your journey, you are on your way!

I'd love to help you achieve your real estate goals and get you started on your journey.
