New to Real Estate Investing and possibly frustrated?

[Andrew Bosco]

Hey all! Introducing myself here; 

I am a former biotech scientist turned to real estate professional. I interact with first time house hackers / seasoned investors on a daily basis. Wanna know what they have in common? Both are looking for deals. Wanna know who wins and finds the juicy deals? Seasoned investors. Wanna know why? They don't swing for the fences every time. The seasoned pros do this daily. Win and lose some. 

My first time house hackers 99% of the time just microanalyzer every fine detail and lose out. They don't understand that 90% of the time, just being in the realm and getting your first deal is what matters. I can promise you that my first deal was TERRIBLE, but I lived at a reduced monthly cost to living than renting/buying a single family and that is what mattered. 

So if you're new and looking to jump into the space, then reach out. I'm a straight shooter and will give you an honest take on your scenario. I see off market properties weekly, talk to investors both new and seasoned daily and I am actively buying myself. Happy to connect.

Quote from @Moe Collins:

Hey Andrew, 

It's good to see another person on here from New Hampshire. I am new to this real estate world, but have been learning things here and there over the last couple of years. I own a business here in New Hampshire and my wife and I are interested in getting into real estate. Have you found 1 sector more opportunistic than others? SFR, Multifamily, commercial, etc.

 Hey Moe, 

I've only been in real estate for over a year but I'll weigh in on this. To answer, I'll say that it depends what you're looking to get out of it. If you're looking for appreciation, then SFR is probably the way to go. If you're looking for cash flow, then multifamily is the way to go---especially if you can find value add opportunities and can BRRRR it. I'm not as versed in commercial, but I know there are different kinds including retail, storage, office, and industrial. I myself am an investor focused agent specializing in multi family properties so this is what I'm most familiar with. Let me know if you have any questions!
