My latent passion for real estate investing was recently rekindled and here I am ready to dive in and start creating my own deals.I've been getting out looking at open houses to get a sense of my local market, crunching some numbers, and reaching out to people to start building up some contacts in the residential real estate world.My ideal path is to do some rehabs to generate some more capital and then move to buy/holds.
