It’s great to have people that try to give back by helping someone else. That’s Always been my philosophy and still will be in the future. I’ll take all of this into serious consideration. I was actually thinking of Getting my license recently. That’s a great starting point.

Thanks Troy!

Hello all. I’m looking for some guidance. Here’s a quick backstory (because I think it’s relevant). Also might be TMI but I think it’s important

Currently 37 years old. I invested in a rental when I was 25 in 2007 right before crap hit the fan (young and dumb, did no due diligence,, trusted a friend).

Fast forward - ended up way under water in many areas - had to let house go to foreclosure in 2015. Credit went from 800 down to 560

Within 2 years.

Got into the insurance business about 8 years ago, in many different roles but Real Estate has been and always has been in the back of my mind. Ive worked hard the past 4 years to repair credit. I have a family (wife and son)

Current situation - credit back up over 700 for first time in 5 years. But.... just was laid off... like many other people. Not hitting the panic button because I feel that everything happens for a reason and in the right timing.

Many people will come out of this craziness with new skills, a business, a total new career etc.

Now may be the time to finally get back into real estate. The question is how though (for me).

1. Foreclosure still on record, 2. Laid off, 3. Credit still in repair.

Any suggestions here on where or how to start or which area you’d focus on?

Wholesaling to get cash? Notes? Subject to? Etc. I feel like it’s a great opportunity for me while I have “down time” but not sure where to look.

I live in the Philly area and am open to connections and opportunities

@Brandon Ribeiro hey Brandon. I’m in the same boat - was let go last week, and I also have dreamed of being In real estate for a long time. Best of luck to you! Now is definitely the time to go for it. With all of the uncertainty out there, so many people will look Back on these times as the time they took a risk to follow their dreams.
