@Timothy Otten

Welcome to the BiggerPockets community.  Make sure you check out all of the free tools that this site has to offer.  I honestly don't believe it is ever to late to start anything.  The only thing you have to do is start.  If you continue to focus on your goal you will find your answer.  


Best Regards,

@Richard Jeffries

For the SEO aspect of your website.  Make sure you focus on using the google webmaster tools.  The domain name doesn't really matter as long as you are adding value to the internet you will be found.  Depending on what platform your using I recommend Wordpress.  Build it to your liking and you have to focus on marketing online and offline.  This will help your SEO tremendously.  If you need any help just connect with me and I will be able to help with any questions or concerns with regards to Web Development and SEO. 

Best Regards,

Ricardo Charles

@Dillion Blesi

The best thing you can do is network and meet with people.  Take your time and work on finding the best deal where the numbers make sense to you.  Real Estate is an interesting yet competitive marketplace so opportunities present themselves in all shapes and sizes.  Take advantage of Biggerpockets.com podcast and the abundance of information that is available on this site.  This is a great resource to learn how to create income through real estate.  Jump in and start learning and networking. 

Best Regards,

Ricardo Charles

thanks @Marlon Wilson I appreciate it.

They usually want to see at least 2 years of consistent work history.  But I believe you should be good if you have excellent credit.  Just make sure you work with a good broker to help you.  The only thing you have to make sure is your debt to income ratio is decent.  

Have you tried legalzoom.com?
