How did you start investing in real estate?

[Gino Forte]

Hi BiggerPockets community!

I have a question for any and every person that is looking at this forum post right now;

"How did you start investing in real estate?"

If you'd like, you can describe it in full detail and I'll be more than glad to read all of it and provide you with feedback. Starting with your first steps to marketing and your first lead on a property from a motivated seller, down to financing, closing, & the steps you took to sell the property.

OR

You can also just simply reply with a short, to-the-point answer and I'll still provide you with feedback as that will satisfy me as well.

Thank you all for looking and I hope to hear some great responses promptly! Have a good one!
