Complete RE inverting Newbie

Matt Brown
Posted

Working on my Real Estate license for personal investing mostly, however also would really like to be working for myself again in the next couple of years.

48 My wife had her house before we married and it is paid off now

I have a little money to invest in my hopefully new "hobby" (somewhere between 50-75K)

I have a place to live so no house hack for me. I am a little older and not set for retirement, but not too bad off I don't feel.

I think I want to flip a house or two then get into some rentals. The BRRRR gets my attention as well.

Any advice for a newbie? 

Disclosure: I started RE school in Ky but learned we will be moving back to La in a few months (where the paid off house is) 

my only reason for getting licensed was for MLS listings, avoiding commissions and the freedom to look at potential investments without wearing an agent out.

Looking forward to learning and growing my portfolio


Thanks!

Welcome!

Yeah, get started. :-)
If you're that far along, waiting around to get older is just that, waiting around to get older. Just joking of course. But, you may want to learn how an investor does things, because you've got a little bit of catching up to do.
