Jumping in later in life

Heather Brooke
Posted

Hi everyone,

I’ve been lurking and reading and trying to learn. I’d love to hear some success stories of people who’ve gotten into real estate in their 30s or 40s after they’ve settled down. This is so new to me and I’d like to buy my first rental in 2023 but would love to hear stories of others who taught themselves how to do this a little later in life without growing up in the real estate business!

Hi Heather - it is never too late to jump into REI, and it is rare to see people in their 20's with rentals. What types of properties are you looking into... Short term? Long term? Would love to connect and help where I can!
