Hi Justine and rest of BP family,
Thank you for posting this.
I am located in Dallas, Tx and have been thinking about starting real estate investing from quite a while. I dnt have any past experience with it and dnt know exactly where to start. I am full time healthcare professional and mother of two beautiful girls. I have been listening to BP podcasts and about to finish David's book on BRRRR.
Due to so many RE training courses available everywhere online, it seems very overwhelming what to pick and fear of getting ripped off. As a newbie , I need suggestions about initiating this journey. I am interested in BRRRR strategy but with zero RE experience I am afraid that I might end up taking way more wrong decisions than I can afford. I have 50 K to put on a down payment and I am open to out of state investing after getting little hang of it locally.
I am not looking for high amount of cash flow and focusing more on property appreciation and wealth accumulation.
I also wanted to Ask busy professionals with none or limited REI knowledge about their beginning of investing journey, how did you navigate this process, any courses you recommend, how did you find your mentors and what challenges you faced and troubleshooting them.
Any help and feedback is highly appreciated!
