Beginning Investor In Search Of Guidance

[Jada Lazenby]

I’m thrilled to introduce myself as a new agent in the Los Angeles area and joined BiggerPockets to make more connections, friends and most importantly to learn what to do with my money when it comes to investing.

This is a huge site and I have absolutely no idea where to start. I guess I’ll start by asking where did you guys start when it comes to investing? How far along are you now? Did you have a coach? What have been your lessons in investing that you can pass onto others?

Thank you!

welcome.

definitely start with a house hack.

i started by renting my first primary residence out when I moved into a bigger place.  i still have it.

i did not and do not have a coach, but i went to lots of REIA meetings when I got started and benefited tremendously. i went to small networkings ones and networked. i went to big pitchfests suspecting they were pitchfests, got pitched at, didn't buy anything, and networked at those too.
