Growing up, I never anticipated that I’d be involved in real estate. In fact, I actively said I didn’t want any part of it. But throughout college, early every one of the internships and jobs that I was actually able to get had to do with real estate. These jobs ranged from property management, acquisitions, to real estate accounting and book keeping. Before I knew it, I’d started building a career out of real estate. By the time I graduated, I decided that I wanted to continuing pursuing this avenue, but I just didn’t know how. I’d watched hundreds of podcasts and YouTube videos about how to acquire properties but none of those methods ever seemed to make financial sense to me.
Fast forwarding a few years, I was able to start working with a small real estate investment company and I began to realize that acquiring properties is possible, even on a small budget. After about a year of flip flopping back and forth between the fear of buying a rental property and it going south with either home repairs or bad tenants , and wanting more than anything to start creating passive income for my family, I finally decided to take advantage of the rising value of homes and get a heloc on my primary home.
With that money and the wide variety of real estate knowledge I’d acquired over the years, I was able to buy my first investment property late 2022. Now with the help of investors, I’m able to rinse and repeat, utilizing the same heloc to purchase one property after another. My goal is to purchase one new property each year.
I’ve learned that there is no reward without risk. Eventually, you just have to take the leap and that you don’t have to be a millionaire to be a real estate investor.
