Hello everyone! I am Frank from Tampa FL, a student and wage worker for the home insurance industry looking for more. I'm looking for my first home, and I want to make it the type of investment that will launch me into real estate investing and management. I'm 25 years old, and I don't want to work for another person's dream for the next 40 years of my life. I know little, and I am open to qualify information from anyone, from newbies to vets living off of their investments. I look forward to meeting and connecting with as many of you as possible, and making future contributions to this community that has already helped me. :-)
Welcome to the BP community! This is the place to learn. I'd go through The Ultimate Beginner's Guide and then figure out which strategy works best for your current situation. Then I'd learn all that's needed to make the first step and then take it. Too many people get overwhelmed and waste time trying to learn it all before they do anything. The problem is that there is too much to know and it doesn't all stick that way. Just learn and do step by step and you'll find your way. All the best!
Thank you for your encouragement and suggestions! There is definitely a lot of information and I'm trying to dissect what is meaningful for me at this stage. Right now, I'm just trying to buy my first multi-family home for both a primary residence , a source of rental income, and an appreciating asset to be used to acquire more properties. Any help advice, or personal lessons is much appreciated!
