Real estate offers many opportunities for financial growth. Each strategy has its own advantages and disadvantages. This is why it will be important for you to network and do your own research to decide which strategy is right for you. Below I share some resources that may help you get started toward structuring your personal perspective and journey into real estate investing.

Listen to Real Estate Podcasts (I highly recommend Bigger Pockets and Real Estate Rookie. Both offer a wealth of information related to strategies, goals, lending, and more. I found both on Spotify.)

Real Estate Websites (such as; Redfin, Zillow, Trulia)

Books (there are a plethora that are worth your time and effort)

Networking - Connect with people in the field in person to learn about investing, renovating, flipping, property management for short and long-term rentals and to learn about landlord-tenant laws in your county and state, and more.)

Take a class or seminar in real estate. Check out your local community college or arrange to meet with a realty company to inquire about course options.
