Hi Kristi, congrats on wanting to get started in real estate! Like Melissa said I don't think you need to pay for a course. I think you can get a lot of information from podcasts and books. When I started getting interested in real estate I refused to spend money on books until I knew for sure that I was going to stick with it so I ended up going to the library and reading 4 books over a few months and I was hooked. I know it's difficult finding time to read books with children but 15 minutes a day of an audiobook or podcast will definitely help you on your path! Another free tip is to completely alter your social media feed. I started following tons of people in the real estate space and training the algorithm to show me more real estate content. It felt like I was taking a mini course on real estate.
Great idea!!👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much! That is some excellent advice!! Are we allowed to try to find local people through these forums?
Hello all, my name is Kristi. I am a single mother looking to break into REI. I have wanted to do this for years, but always let fear get in the way. I am ready now. The problem is, is when I search for or make any inquiries about real estate investing, I get absolutely bombarded and overwhelmed with all these classes that people want you to take and pay for. There seems to be 1,000,001 different types of these. And most of them are very expensive. I believe wholeheartedly that I would benefit from a mentor. However, I am very leery of just paying someone or a company that I am not familiar with thousands of dollars to help me. I live in Michigan. In the metro Detroit area. I am mainly interested in flipping and maybe wholesaling. ANY advice would be helpful at this point! I need to know how to get started. Like I said I am ready! But, just don't want to start off wasting thousands of dollars to find help, only to be scammed. I'm sure this is happened to plenty of people out there. Like I said, any advice or anything anybody wants to tell me would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!!
