I would like to begin investing in real estate but I have no experience. I'm wanting to learn as much as I can and avoid rookie mistakes. Are there any local programs, recommended online programs, or are you an investor that would be willing to mentor me?
Don't mean to oversimplify, but buy low and sell high. Right now, real estate in B/CS is at all time highs. Case in point, the house next door to mine sold for twice what I paid for mine just 9 years ago. No way I'd pay that for my house. Wait for inflation to hit, interest rates to soar, and property prices to fall. Save a ton of cash between now and then and be ready to pounce. Opportunities will abound. Now's not the time. Just my opinion.
