welcome shout out from the Midwest Yari. Think of this as a get rich slow scheme. Persistence and patience. Develop a trusted team of advisors. The team I am building includes a realtor, contractor, lender, CPA and lawyer. Also, find a software to analyze properties unless you are good at spreadsheets. I'm not so the software really empowered me. I use property tracker and property evaluator currently. Also, be a student. Start to listen to podcasts. They really help develop your knowledge base.

Take it slow. When you do findable house due your do diligence with the tenants. Expect work and issues. This is a hands on active investment but worth it. Good luck.

    Hi Yari,

    Welcome to BP! I live in El Segundo and I'm about in the same spot you are, except that I'm also in the process of getting my real estate license. This is the right place to be!

    First thing to do is read the Ultimate Beginner's Guide right here on BP. It's free and really well written!

    Good luck soaking in the knowledge! There is a ton on here. :)

    -Ben

    Welcome to BP Yari, and congrats on getting started.

    Real estate will be a life long learning experience and if done with few mistakes as possible you will be very happy you made this choice. Don't forget to look at other ways to invest also. Don't put all your money in to one basket.
