Hello! @Juan Garcia

Welcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.

I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing. Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.

First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:

The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.

    @Juan Garcia what exactly are you hoping to learn about?

    I’m just eager to learn how to flip houses and learn everything about rental properties

    Flipping houses is not easy the hardest part is finding a house where the numbers work. Rentals aren't as tough but you still need to find the right property. REI in general is difficult if you don't at least pick one of these lanes to focus on, otherwise it is just a nebulous daydream that never happens @Juan Garcia

    So where do I start

    Pick a lane 

    Flipping or rentals?

    Then people can give you better information.  Right now it is like asking about college without telling anyone what you want to major in, there is so much info that it is hard to be specific @Juan Garcia

    @Juan Garcia welcome to BP!! There is a lot to learn and you are at the right place! My advice is to start by reading "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide", it gives you a great overview of ways to make money in real estate.

    For rental real estate step 1 is picking where you want to invest, step 2 is getting preapproved with a lender.  That is where you start.
