New Future Investor in Making

[Brandon Young]

Hello kind people of the BiggerPockets Network! I'm Brandon.

I just joined today and am at the very beginning of my Real Estate career. In fact, it hasn't even begun yet. I'm not here because I expect to make thousands overnight. I'm here to learn about living the Real Estate life.

About me:

I'm in a serious relationship and together we bring in $3200 a month, we have $1600 in all debts each month, leaving us with $1600/mo to save. We are starting this savings plan next month (Jan'18) since I just got employed and we are now able to do so. 

I have so much passion in the "why" for becoming a Real Estate investor and I am here in need of some help. I am reading about Real Estate most of the day just about everyday (lot of downtime in call center work.)

I'm 25 years old, my household income is $3200 a month with $1600 in debts, I have a credit score that scares me, and I don't know what I'm doing. I am determined to figure it out either way; the hard way or the easy way. I will do whatever it takes to make this happen. 

So comes to the point of my post I suppose,

I'm looking for people who may be willing to provide general advice in the forums, who have experience- Maybe given my situation you would know what your first move would be and you can advise me. I am gathering lots of information, but still don't have the know how to: construct a deal (let alone find one!,) find buyers, whether or not I need financing or not, or more importantly- what my first property should be or what type of property and how to construct it I should say.

Thanks for the time in reading, even if you cannot reply.

I appreciate it all very much.

Enjoy your day!
