Information overload and how to be proactive!

Posted

Hello Forum, 

I am a "newbie" from outside Albany,NY and am really excited to have found BiggerPockets and look forward to my future thanks to the site. I am taking in so much information that i seem to be going in circles but thats ok I'm new. My thoughts as of now are to go straight to the 5+ units because i feel that they are more secure and can absorb vacancy. My credit is good and i have a little cash to invest but would rather not use mine so i was thinking to go to a lender(s) and see what is available for me. I dont have any properties as of right now that im looking at so is it advise able to go to a lender now?....Phew! Post #1 complete.

Speaking with a lender now won't hurt. If may help you narrow your focus once you know what you can buy.
