Ambitious newbie in Dayton, Ohio
Hey! My name is Monique. 296years old currently working as a therapist for addicts who are mentally ill. (It's more fun than it sounds lol). I've been listening to Bigger Pockets for awhile and looking to finally make the leap into real estate. Right now I am in a wholesaling class to help build capital to finance my first property. I want to focus on multifamily rentals. Currently, I do not have much capital but I am willing to work and learn to get started. Looking to have 3-4 properties by the end of 2018 while going for more.
Looking for knowledge and guidance especially on financing. I would love to connect with fellow real estate investors in the Dayton and Cincinnati area as well as nationally.
My goal is to get out of debt and achieve financial freedom through real estate. I want to own some properties in my hometown of Dayton. Eventually I would love to own homes around the world as travel is my favorite thing to do.
Happy Thanksgiving. I hope your food is done on time 😊

My advice as a investor is for you to get out of debt first then concentrate on investing. Real estate is high risk, you do not want your personal debt burden to pull you down.
If you can not manage your personal finances you are not ready to invest. Investing requires strict discipline.
Develop your money management skills first by clearing your debt.
