I have been working with many people who are just trying to get started with real estate investing.

@Jose Saladin Purchasing your sister’s home as a live-in rental offers instant equity (~$170K), tax benefits, and landlord experience, making it a solid first step into real estate investing.

Is there a standard verbiage for us real estate investors.

Hello, my name is Desiah Barnett. I am based out of Westchester County, NY, looking to invest in multifamily properties. 

Quote from @Brandon Morgan: hey guys I am new to real estate and I just got my first rental property this past year and have tenants and things are finally stable now.

I currently have a rental property and am looking at getting my real estate license and building a property management and property maintenance company to serve my investments and potentially others.  

Also for me I do not consider this as investing in real estate.

While I am an attorney and lean on those skills I would be more inclined to consider my career that of a real estate developer at this point.

@Zack Whiting Id change your mindset of real estate investing being a hobby and making it a more serious part of your life.

It's too large of an investment to get it wrong; you need bench strength.Real estate investing is a risk business.
