New (Wanna-be) Investor in Boise, Idaho

Member since 2019 · 1 post · 1 vote

Hi BP Community! I learned about this website from the "Rental Property Investing" book by Brandon Turner. I'm hoping I can connect with some local investors here in Boise and also around the country to help me in this new adventure. I am a 22 year old guy that is still getting started with this whole "life" thing. I want to get going early so that my future can be as successful as possible. I bought my first home in October; I wouldn't say it was a good deal as I bought it for market value but I wanted a home. I have been putting some money into it and am hoping to save up to buy a rental property in the next year or two depending on finances. If any of you could offer me some advice on how to get started that would be great! Especially in the crazy market that we have here right now. Would it be best to wait? Anyways, I'm glad to be apart of such an enthusiastic community and hopefully am able to meet some great people!

    @Brycyn Campbell Welcome to BP! Be sure to check out all of the previous podcasts and webinars. Watch a current one to get a discount code and join the Pro level if you feel it is worth it. for me it was to get all the info from the older podcasts but even more so to use the calculators. test out the rental calculator and you'll see what I mean. Well worth the investment to go pro. Then start analyzing as may properties as you can whether or not you are interested in them just to get used to running the numbers. Analyze as many as you have time for each day, whether that be 1, 5 10, or more, just do it so you know what to look for so you can recognize a winner when you see one.
