Thanks for the insight, @John Warren!

Hi all,

If you had 15K cash ready to invest, but you've never invested in RE before, what would you do? What would you invest in? Asking for a friend... :)

[A Little Background]

- I am new to this whole Real Estate Investing, but have been studying some materials, listening to the BG podcasts, and I believe, I am leaning towards rental properties to create passive income.

- I have also thought about using companies like Fundrise to get started and get a feel for it, but I am unsure that this would give me the experience I to actually feel like I'm investing in a physical asset.

- I am in the Raleigh, NC area.

Thanks!

Thanks, Justin!

Hi all,

New member from the Raleigh, NC area, more specifically in Holly Springs. I am 31, originally from Brazil, lived in Orange County, California for 8 years, and moved to NC for a job. I am a Project Manager in the Video Games industry.

Recently, I've been really studying and focusing on my long term future (retirement) plan, and I believe Real Estate Investing is a great way to achieve that, so I would like to learn as much as possible from this amazing community and, eventually, take a leap of faith to get started.

Since I currently have a Full Time Job that is really demanding (~50 - 60 hours a week), my goal is to try to create a passive income from my investments.

Looking forward to learning from all of you!
