I'm curious about creating a timeline to begin my journey as a real estate investor. My goal is to buy my first investment property (either a flip or rental) in 2019. I just closed on my first home in late October 2018. I'm wondering if it makes sense for me to even get into real estate investing so soon after a first-time home purchase (provided that I figure out the financing, renovating, etc.), or should I wait a while?
If you want to invest there is nothing stopping you. However you probably should pick a lane to either flip or buy and hold, because it is tougher for a newbie to try and learn both at the same time.
@Crissinda Ponder Always start now because if you choose to start later you never will! I agree with @Aaron K. pick a niche, educate yourself in it and stick with it. Good luck!
