Late in life and brand new to the game

Like so many of you from the dawn of your real estate journey, I'm just trying to be a sponge and get my hands on as much info before dipping my toe in the pool.  I welcome any and all positive experiences and advice and if you're in my neck of the woods, give me a shout.

Hi Vincent, welcome to BiggerPockets! This is surely the best place to start learning about real estate. The market can be vast and starting out with a thirst for knowledge is definitely the right approach. I would highly suggest that you tune in to the BiggerPockets Podcast and attend your local REI meetups. Find a mentor doing what you want to do, and get to know the local lenders/brokers you will find this to be beneficial in your real estate journey. All the best!

     Hi @Vincent Aguirre

    Welcome to BP! love to see someone from Arlington on here. I was born and raised in Arlington. Went to Seguin HS & UTA for my masters and undergrad

    My wife & I house hacked our way to our first rental property here in Fort Worth. 

    Something to remember what Brandon Turner from the BP podcast says is to get your Core 4

    1. Deal finder - agent or wholesaler

    2. PM - for obvious reasons you need a solid PM

    3. Contractor 

    4. Lender

    Best of luck!
