Hi @Joshua Ede...welcome to Bigger Pockets and the investing game.
I run a investing group/meeting in SD with my local business partners in the area. Depending on what you are looking to focus on; I'm sure we can point you in the right direction. Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions or want to discuss investing in general....my contact number is below this post.
Well Kirky, from the little I know, I think my base desire lies in accumulating rental properties but I also like the idea of Flipping.... Would fully appreciate any advice or direction you can share.... I am trying to soak up as much as I can lately through podcasts but find that these forums may provide the greatest wealth of knowledge.... The one thing I can say for sure about Ash and myself.... We are committed and highly motivated!
Hi Joshua,
Rentals are a stable and reliable way to build long-term wealth. Flipping can help you generate the capital to build your portfolio. Trouble is the hot market yields lesser opportunity and getting deals requires marketing directly to motivated sellers.
Are you starting out with capital or bootstraping it?
Thanks for the feedback Kirky! If by bootstrapping you mean not a pot tomoiss in for the most part :), then yes, that is for the most part us.... But I can be pretty resourceful when I am a motivated and I am more motivated than I have ever been in my life and fully committed to succeeding... All your help is so appreciated and any knowledge you have to share is absolutely welcomed!!!
@Joshua Ede, we have a real estate investment club in Oceanside that you might like to attend. Because of BP rules I can't give details here, but search for us on meetup.com and you'll find us. Also, connect with me if you like and I can help guide you if you desire.
Thanks Matt, I need all the help I can get!!! Any quality advice is much appreciated! Green as can be here and just trying to learn as much as I can along the way... like I have said a few time already... All the advice from you experts out there is so so welcomed and beyond appreciated... Again, much respect and much appreciation to all that have reached out already... Keeps me super motivated for this mysterious and complex journey!
