Hello, 

I am going to be starting a new job soon with a salary of 50k. I have around 18k in student loan debt. I have around 8k in savings and a  credit score of 670. 

I am trying to start acquiring cash flowing rental properties. I live about an hour south of Pittsburgh, so real estate here is pretty cheap compared to other places. 

I would like your guys opinions on if I should be trying to pay off my student loans first before trying to invest. Thanks in advance  

Thanks for the input Victor. I agree that it probably would be difficult to resell. My main strategy is buy and hold.

I look to invest mostly in rentals that are in the 30k-50k range and try to get good cashflow from them. 

What do you guys think of 1BR/1 Bath rentals?

Recently I found a deal near me for a 1BR/ 1 Bath asking $14,900. (Real estate is cheap where I'm from). It is clean and could probably use a little paint and some flooring. I could probably rent for $400 a month plus utilities.

What do you guys think? Bad idea? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, 

I am currently marketing for my first mobile home deal. I posted an ad on Craigslist saying we buy Mobile homes and I got a reply for a woman saying that she was looking for a mobile home preferably a double wide and asking if I had one to sell. I don't have one but could I essentially wholesale it to her to an assignment fee? What are your guys thoughts on this? Thanks in advance 

Hey Jon, 

Nice to see someone on here from my area. I'm I'm Greene County. I am also a beginner trying to get into real estate.  I will be following along with this thread, congrats on getting started!

Hey guys, 

I am 19 years old and currently trying to get into real estate investing. I work an under the table job and I have about 7k in savings and a mediocre high 500s credit score. I'm looking to take the next step to get into real estate. I live in an area that properties are very cheap. Does buying a rental seem feasible? Or should I just put all my focus into wholesaling? Looking forward to hearing from you guys. Thanks in advance 

Hey guys, 

I am a ambitious 19 year old looking for a mentor in the southwestern PA area in areas like Uniontown or Pittsburgh. I will work for free and help in anyway I can in exchange for the experience and education. I really would like to mentor someone that is wholesaling specifically. Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks

Hey Sonit 

I am a newbie investor also from the Morgantown area looking to learn from someone with experience. If you would wanna chat sometime that would be greatly appreciated

Hey guys,

I am 19 years old with the intentions of getting into real estate. I am currently enrolled in community college and have found out that college is not for me. I would rather educate myself without wasting thousands of dollars paying for irrelevant classes. I am hoping to be able to quit soon and begin my career in real estate investing. 

 I currently have a little over $5,000 to my name. I work making $10 an hour getting paid under the table. I want to eventually have many rental properties. So here is my question, what should be the first steps into getting started in real estate? 

Any information is appreciated. Thanks
