Thank you SOOOO much for the words of encouragement Kevin.  That is a great idea, I can enlist other people to go in with me.

Thanks BP Family!!! Keep it coming!

Thank you Canesha and Steve,  great advice.

I never wanted to be a RE Agent, I wanted to know more about real estate as an industry, so I got licensed and it does help me recognize good deals.  (P.S. I took a motorcycle riding class and got licensed although I never wanted to own a motorcycle, theyre dangerous, LOL)

You both gave me the idea of partnerships.  I will definitely pursue that.

KEEP THE IDEAS COMING BP FAMILY!!!!

I'm getting a little frustrated and discouraged.  I need my BP family to talk me off the ledge.  I've done many things to try to get started with a buy and hold, and something always trips me up and stops me.  I tried a hard money lender, they wanted me to have $12k in cash to start, I tried refinancing my house, my personal credit score is stopping me at this point.  

I even got my RE license, but I'm still not able to get this horse to run.

Suggestions please BP family, I find your personal stories uplifting and encouraging.

HELP!!!

I cant figure out how to do this with no money down of my own.  any suggestions

Hi Ken,

Thanks so much for the invite, I'd absolutely LOVE to see one of your properties and learn from you.  I have a partner, and we would welcome the opportunity to see a deal in real time.  Let's make it happen!

Thank you so much!

Thank you Jill for the great advice!  I plan to use a portion of my retirement money to make the purchase.

Thank you so much!  All of your advice is extremely helpful!  I'm going to jump in and start.

Thank you Bigger Pockets Family!!!

Thank you James!

I actually do have a little network.  I love the idea of a mock purchase.  I think I'll try that, at least it will give me a feel for an actual purchase.

Go White Sox!!! Bears are looking promising this year too :-)

I feel like I'm doing a whole bunch of reading and taking classes, but I still haven't made my first move.  I am planning to retire in the next two years, and Im trying to get some passive income flowing.  

On one hand, I think I'm ready to jump in with both feet and learn from any lessons (hopefully not too expensive).  I keep seeing these properties, but I haven't been able to make myself move.

Help!!!!

 Thank you so much for the welcome!
