New to Real Estate — Ready to Learn and Grow
Hi everyone! I'm excited to be here as a new member of BiggerPockets. I live in Coweta County, Georgia, and I'm just beginning my journey into real estate investing. While I’m new to the field, I’ve been diving into books, YouTube videos, and podcasts to build a strong foundation. Three books that have really inspired me so far are Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, as well as The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down and How to Invest in Real Estate —both published by BiggerPockets.
Since I’m not currently working a 9-to-5, I’ve been using this time to focus on learning and building a foundation for long-term success. My goal is to achieve financial freedom through real estate, and I’m here to connect with and learn from more seasoned investors.
Looking forward to growing and contributing to this community!

Thank you for the words of encouragement—I truly appreciate it.
I completely agree that networking locally and shadowing someone who’s actively investing in my area or nearby markets would be extremely valuable for my learning and growth. Regarding your suggestion about analyzing deals daily, I’d love to hear your insights on how to approach that effectively.
On a separate note, I noticed your profile lists you as a lender. As someone who isn’t currently employed, could you offer some guidance on the steps I should take now to qualify for a loan through a private lender? I’m planning to purchase my first property within the next 1 to 3 months.
Thanks again—I look forward to learning more from you
