Knocking on doors to see which one opens

[Atenas Encinas]

Hi, I'm a interior designer looking to start a real estate investing business. I'm extremely passionate about making properties look amazing and because of that I think flipping properties to sell would be a perfect fit for me. But in order to do that I need MONEY to invest, and that's the reason I'm looking to get all the information available to start in the investment field from scratch with little to no money. Grateful for all the good advice I can get.

I'm willing to listen any good advice and if you need advice on how to stage a house to sell feel free to ask.

Hi @Atenas Encinas.

Getting into real estate in a supporting role is a great way to go about it - you kind of said this yourself regarding house staging, but may not have realized the opportunity there. It sounds like you may be highly qualified in that field, so why not leverage it? Don't reinvent the wheel if you don't have to. Network with investors in your area, start working with them doing staging, or design services for flippers, etc. These are just some ideas - moral of the story, though: don't discount your skills - bring them to the table and fill in the gaps with other people (you'll fill in THEIR gaps).

Good luck!
