Good stuff, thanks for sharing!

Kenneth,

Welcome! You are in the right place my man. Much luck to you on your real estate journey. I host a meetup in New Britain on the third Thursday of every month in case you are interested.

Good Luck!

No, all you need to do is notify the insurance company so they can adjust your premiums. You would probably have to notify the bank so they have your updated mailing address, but they will not make any changes to the loan as long as you stayed at least 1 year. 

That's pretty much it, good luck!

Hello, 

I want to start investing in real estate. 

What I have: Money (2m+), time (8 hours a day), an excellent credit score (eligible for financing), energy, no or small experience in real estate, but experience in business, especially e-commerce. 

Where to start? 

I am about to get a real estate license and become an agent, but not sure if I need it, because I am more interested in investing rather than building a real estate career. I am going to attend a seminar in San Diego this year, but what else I can do?

Maybe you can suggest particular courses or coaching for real estate investing, tools or blueprints on how to analyze deals, and how to understand which reals estate niche and strategy to choose. 

Any advice will be appreciated 🙏

Best,  Ellie. 

Hey Eleonora,

If I were you, I would skip being a real estate agent. It will put you into a different mindset and it's not easy to switch between the investor mindset and the agent mindset, especially when you are looking for deals to take down yourself. While you may have the capital, it sounds like you are lacking the experience. With that much money at play, be careful as you could end up in a world of hurt from making one mistake.
 

 Here are a few options for you:

1. Attend some local real estate meetups and start networking. Maybe your city has a REIA? (You should look into it) See what others are doing and where you could potentially bring value to others. Since you have the capital, find someone who doesn't', and partner up. It does not even have to be a super large deal.

2. Join a mastermind community. I myself did this over a year ago and it makes a word of a difference vs you trying to figure everything out on your own. The community is intended to be a group you can go to for guidance, support and also for partners. The mastermind I am a part of is called the W2Capitalist. It's geared towards investors in the beginning part of their journey. If that's something you would be interested in, message me. 

3. Hire a coach/mentor. It may take some work to find one, but this is also a great idea. This route would be good if you had a specific goal in mind. If you are looking to "just get started", I would recommend you start with #1 on this list. 

Good luck!

Hey Alejandro,

Maybe consider wholesaling. Not a ton of money to get started. And, there is a huge upside if you can get a few deals. Wholesaling could potentially pay out way more than any side gig hourly job. Another option is working for a real estate brokerage. There are so many other options. I would recommend you taking a sec to think about what you are good at and enjoy. Then determine what area of real estate could your skills apply to. Then go deeper and deeper. You will ultimately find something.

Good luck on your journey!

 Hey Brandon,

Thank so much for taking the time to respond! I have consider wholesaling but I have find opportunities in the form of full time jobs. Do you think there is another way to explore or starting working on field? 

 In that case, I would recommend you try out being an agent. You could move as fast or slow with work.
