Introducing a newbie

Posted

hello BiggerPockets group! 
my name is Keomaka. I do not have any assets, only liabilities. car loan, rent, etc. I’m trying to get rid of my vehicle to get a 2nd hand vehicle so I don’t have a car loan anymore. I’m in the laborers union but currently unemployed, I have to wait for a company to reach out to me in order to go back to work as a union member. 
besides building my knowledge with; books, BP, YouTube, Facebook groups, practicing analyzing, & so on, what else should I be doing? & in my case, should I wait to go back to work for steady income to even try to get deals? 
what has been the biggest help for you & made you get over the “what next” stage?

@Keomaka Matsumoto I always suggest going to RE meetups. Networking is so important. You could find a partner to team up on a deal. If your looking to get a loan yourself, then you may want to consider getting back to work to have employment history. It seems like you are on the right path, just keep learning and growing and you’ll get there! Good luck!
