Trying To Get Started - Looking For Guidance

Liam Callaway
  • Nashville, TN
Posted

Hello BiggerPockets! My name is Liam and I'm an aspiring real estate investor. This is my first post on BiggerPockets so I hope it doesn't sound silly. 

I am in the "Strategy" phase of my first investment experience and have been trying to learn as much as possible (reading several BiggerPockets published books, checking out the website, dabbling in searching markets and runnign numbers on deals). I've just recently reached a point where I've begun meeting with different lenders for the first time, and if I'm being completely honest, I am overwhelmed with the entire process. I know this is normal and that most investors feel like they are drowning when they first get started, but I still feel a bit embarrassed asking for help. Nonetheless, I felt like this community could be a great place to be vulnerable and see if there is anyone in the Nashville area willing to share some insight for a free lunch or coffee! 

I am not looking for someone to hold my hand through the entire process, but rather help me understand the initial steps I need to take and what order I should take them in to get my first deal done. If anyone out there is in the Nashville area and feels like meeting with a real estate rookie please let me know! It would really mean a lot, and I'll buy you a free meal (if that counts for anything lol)!

@Liam Callaway

I'm not in Nashville, but try starting out by reading BiggerPocket's Ultimate Beginners Guide... it's over 50 pages of really good info that will help you make sure you understand the basics:

Otherwise, which parts are you struggling with?  

You will find there is a whole community of people that will gladly answer your questions here.  Hopefully you also find your Nashville person as well. :)

All the best!
