First Post - Looking for Guidance
Hey guys,
For the last few months I have had this burning passion to get into real estate. I have bought a few books and listen to podcasts every day. I have always dreamed of owning real estate but for some reason was content with machining for far too long. I am mainly looking for some guidance with a few things, or some help in any way I can get it.
Money is my biggest worry. I have about 10k credit card debt and a 35k student loan. I feel like my main focus right now should be to pay the cards down to get my credit back up to a respectable number. I have heard that some banks may lend me money to get started but I find that highly unlikely after just buying a house for myself and maxing out a credit card. I think my best bet would be to find someone who will let me shadow them and even do some of the work to learn the ins and outs from in the field and not just these books.
Should I get my RE license? If so, where is the best place to get it and does it matter?
Any help and advice appreciated! I am sick of being broke!
Thank you,
Josh Carlson
