That was one thought I had as well Hilary, but my partners that I mentioned are very apprehensive at this point.  I would like to work towards completing a few deals on my own, in order to make them more confident (so in essence it is just me for now).  I have, what I believe to be, enough funds to hit the ground running, and wouldn't mind partnering with someone on a deal or two in order to get my feet wet. 

Hi all,

My name is Adam Schellhammer and I am just getting into the real estate investment game.  I am looking to invest from Lancaster to Philadelphia Pennsylvania.  To give some quick background, about a year ago I received a small annuity and have since set myself to learn all that I can about real estate investment.  I have also assembled, what I hope to be, a strong group of support including a partner who majored in marketing and another who has contracting and heating/air conditioning experience. 

It has fallen to me to be the head of this caravan as well as the bank, and I believe it is time to start this venture and avoid analysis paralysis.  So I am wondering if anyone in y area, or anywhere else for that matter, has any advice for a first investment.  My initial thought is buy and hold, although the more I learn abut wholesale the more appealing it seems.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Adam

I Just wanted to send a sincere thank you out to the amazing community that is Bigger Pockets.  I signed up about a week ago, two days after finding the podcasts, and I was absolutely blown away by the level of support and information that I have received thus far.  The podcasts went on in great detail, as to how this site could be one of the best sources of mentorship, and I am thoroughly convinced.  So again, thank you to everyone, and I look forward to working with everyone here at Bigger Pockets!

Thank you very much Joe and Dmitriy.  All of the reviews of this site couldn't have been more on-point, it really is an amazingly helpful community of folks working hard to better themselves as well as helping others along their way, and I couldn't be more pleased!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!  I am working with a friend who majored in marketing to attempt to learn wholesale as well, but that may be further down the road.

Thanks Paul, I am trying to soak up everything this community has to offer, podcast #6 has was the one that got me hooked and I signed up immediately after

Hello All,
