Thank you so much for replying! It really means a a lot. With that being said, this has been the first step I've taken in this direction passed research and I am so happy I have. I believe I have found the niche that I wish to start in and that is wholesaling unless I can find a house for less than 5000.00 in the meantime! lol 

I am definitely looking into finding an REIA as we speak and i will do my best to be very thorough when it comes to making a selection. I plan to jump right in like you say because for one, I am 27 years old and have wasted enough time doing everything but what I truly want to do. Secondly I want to provide the life that my daughter deserves.

Thank you so much for your advice. I am listening very intently and look forward to devising a plan and implementing it!

Thank you for your response! This is the first time I am bringing this up to people who already know the ropes and so I am a little bit antsy! But you say join a REIA? Does it not matter that I am not well versed in real estate endeavors outside of YouTube and tons of Google?

Hi everyone! My name is Shannon Webb and I have been wanting to get into real estate since I graduated high school in 2006. I have this outlandish dream of owning several high occupancy apartment complexes around the country one day, and I don't feel as though I will be able to consider myself successful, until I have at least one. The problem was that I had no one around me who thought it was a good idea and have essentially pushed me into every other direction I could possibly be pushed into. not being truly successful in any of the endeavors I have taken on, I believe that it is finally time that I follow my heart and get into something I have a passion for.

It's deeper than just the idea of buying and selling houses, or even acquiring properties and renting them out. For me it's the creative aspects and nature of design that peak my interest. Renovating and making something out of nothing. For my name to be on a house or apartment complex, i want people to know the quality and attention to detail put into any of my properties. I want them to trust my name and want to buy solely because of it. I want to allow my work to put smiles on the people faces who will buy/rent from me. I want to help them feel comfortable in a new space, and to know i can assist with that puts a smile on my face.

But here is the thing. Now that i am ready to jump into this pond, I'm not quite sure as to where to start. I have very little money and with being a single mother I live paycheck to paycheck. I will be attending my local community college this summer for construction management because I believe it will give me a solid foundation of the information i need to know as far as that aspect is concerned... But, what next?I've been considering wholesaling but have no connections in my area for real estate. Mind you, I live in a town called Statesboro, Ga. This is home to Georgia Southern University and is growing every year. I believe I can start out here but with no money, pitiful credit and no connections for mentors, where do I go from here!? 

Thanks so much for reading, any input would be GREATLY appreciated!

Yours truly,

A nervous yet excited Shannon Webb
