Hello everyone! I'm a newbie investor located in the Kansas City area interested in buy-and-hold rental property investing. I'm looking to learn about buy-and-hold rental property investing, other ways of investing in real estate, networking, building a team, and INVESTING! I've listened to hundreds of Bigger Pockets, Bigger Pockets Money, and Real Estate Rookie podcast episodes and have read several of the books often recommended as part of these shows. I have an insatiable appetite for learning about real estate investing and am ready to take the next step forward. I would like to amass a sizeable enough
portfolio cash-flowing well enough to serve as "retirement income" when
the time comes. Hit me up with questions, comments, etc. Let's connect!

Hi Joe. I may be on the other side of the Atlantic but I'd love to connect as I'm also looking to take my first step. I've lived internationally so it's likely that I'll move over to the US at some point and so I keep an eye on the US real estate market.

Welcome to BP @Joe Doran! Happy to have you here. That insatiable appetite for learning is going to be crucial in getting started in your REI career. Make sure you learn enough, but also avoid that paralysis by analysis that so many people have. Wishing you the best of luck, Joe!

Thanks everyone. I suppose the first order of business is going to be to get good at analyzing deals in the market and have someone more experienced review them to make sure I'm not making critical mistakes in underwriting. I also need to identify a property manager and a contractor. I have at least one lender and one agent, but would like to fortify those positions with other reliable sources as well to round out the Core 4. I will be actively working on these areas in the coming weeks, so anyone who thinks they may be able to fulfill those roles, definitely reach out, assuming I don't find you first...lol.
