Having clarity on your “why” is huge, especially when you’re just getting started.

Since you’re just getting started as an investor, a lot of people are pivoting to Midwest markets.

I am looking to start with single family but am also interested in multi family.

Use a dedicated credit card for the propertyPut expenses related to the house on that card (taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance, supplies, utilities if possible).

We’ll walk the property, talk through pricing, and I’ll usually mention a few things they should do before putting it on the market.Things like checking nearby new builds, running fresh comps, getting an inspection done first, staging, making sure lien waivers are collected.Almost every time the response is something like “yeah that makes sense, I’ll probably do that.”Then a few weeks later the house hits the market and none of it got done.A month or two goes by and suddenly the house is sitting, price reductions start happening, buyers start asking for credits, or a deal falls apart after inspection.And honestly it’s frustrating to watch because most of those problems were preventable.Most of the time the issue isn’t even the renovation itself.

I am looking at getting started in Warner Robbins.

Start where you can learn without drowning.

Still have many years to go before retirement .I  don’t know where to start.

is there a better way to get started?

Starting at 19 and already thinking about credit, FHA, and house hacking is strong.That said, slow the timeline down in your head a bit.If you’re moving to the U.S. or Europe, your first challenge won’t be BRRRR — it’ll be residency status, stable income, and building credit history in a new country.
