Hey Bryan, I applaud you for wanting to put your funds to work.And, I 💯 agree that real estate is likely the best path forward.My question is this: How certain are you that the best way for you to "get into real estate investing" is as an active investor?

You are more than welcome to attend our real estate meetup.

Hi, I'm Ahmed Aboelela, a rookie investor looking to make meaningful connections in the real estate community.

More info on DSCR loans, in case helpful:DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan.

Is it a good idea to visit these locations and make connections/check out the real estate?

Obviously the financials must make since and there is seasonality to the income, we'll reach out to our insurance broker to see what that'll run.

For income reasons, you can qualify with a non contingent offer letter (salary position) before you start working.  

As an investor in real estate, when buying property, is it better to have a real estate agent or better to get your own real estate license and becoming your own real estate agent?

I know it is similar to Instagram but there are so many real estate groups on Facebook that have (tens of) thousands of agents/investors/home buyers and once you join, you can market the property in general but also market the open house.

Dear Real Estate Experts,My name is Sohail Ahmed, and I am currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science in Pakistan.
