Hello everyone,
My name is Juan and my wife and I have been wanting to get started in real estate for the last 5 years but due to moving have never taken action. I am close to retiring and I think it's time to get rolling with this. We have been working to educate ourselves and have even gone to a Rich Dad seminar (didn't buy anything). I know this is something my wife and I can do we just need a good place for guidance...I hope this is the place!
Congratulations on retiring. That is our hope in 15 years :) God and Navy willing. My husband is active duty navy so our goal is to use real estate as our early retirement plan. This is an amazing place and you will learn tons. We are buy and hold investors! so we are in it for the long term cash-flow.
Another great place is to look around the blogs, forums and listen to the podcasts. If you see a post you enjoy check out the persons signature. Many of us including myself talk about our strategies, styles, niches and business model on our website. So definitely check that out as it is an amazing additional resource. For example, my blog is about while working full time, buy and hold investing, 0% Down Rentals, Personal Properties turned rentals, Long distancing investing, self-managing 3,000+ miles away. Definitely list your blog or website in your signature, if you have one. Its a great additional networking source.
Look forward to seeing you around! Let me know if I can help!
First off... Thank you for your service! My daughter just recently went through boot camp at Ft. Sill and is doing her schooling at Ft. Lee. She is coming home next week after being gone for six months. YAAAYYYY!! :)
Second.... Welcome to BP. You have definity found a great place to learn a lot about all aspects of real estate and network with people.
One thing that I have found very helpful besides reading the forums is listening to the podcasts (they are free) and getting all the ebooks that are offered on this site.
Read Read Read and Listen Listen Listen.
Good Luck in your venture and see you around the site.
