@ Tom

Hi Tom, It sounds like you're getting a lot of encouragement and support which is great since I'm in the same boat as you, but even older. I figure anything REI adds is all good!

@ Geoff

Great advice!

@Taylor J. 

Hey Taylor, welcome! I'm also a newbie and pretty close to you. I live in Mo Val. Like you, I'm still figuring my way around this site, but so far it seems to have a wealth of great info and everyone is super friendly and helpful. Best of luck!

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the tips. I'm definitely following that advice. I've almost finished the beginners guide to real estate investing, I've ordered a couple of books that were recommended and watched a video. I'm also going to start going to the local REI meetings to see if I can connect with someone to help show me the ropes. The consensus seems to be that you really do need to have someone to help mentor you if you're going to succeed as a real estate investor. It's all a little overwhelming right now, but there does seem to be a ton of information on this site and everyone is very helpful! Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

Hi David,

Thank you for the encouragement, advice and kind offer. I would very much like to see what you do on a daily basis as a RE investor and take a tour of your business. I think I would like to flip houses because I do have a background in construction, but I'm not really sure if that's the best way to get started. Any and all suggestions and advice are greatly appreciated!

Hi Tara,

Thank you for the tips. Are the podcasts under resources?

Hi Joel,

To be honest I'm so new that I really don't know where I should be investing or what is the best strategy for a newbie. BTW, what does it mean when someone votes on your post?

Thanks,

JD

Hi everyone,

My name is Jeff Darr although I go by JD. I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to RE investing. I've been to some seminars which were probably a waste of money since they all seemed to say that to really learn I just needed to invest more. I came across this site and the idea of a community that exists to truly help each other succeed really appeals to me so here I am. I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of great people and getting started in pursuing RE investment which has been a dream of mine for many years. I'd love to hear from others in my area. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!

Best regards,

JD
