Real Estate Investing | Real Estate Investing For Beginners: How To Make It Easier
Successful real estate investors didn’t start out great. When they were just starting out in the real estate business, many of them committed huge mistakes that cost them a lot of many. There were also some who almost gave up halfway and leave the housing industry for good. But instead of throwing the towel and calling it quits, they worked very hard to get where they’re at right now.
According to a certain real estate investor, even big dogs in the real estate business started out as pups. So don’t think that investing in real estate is only for the “big boys.” Real estate investing is for beginners, too.
If you want to invest in real estate, one of the first things that you should need to do is to identify which investing strategy you’re going to use to create positive cash flow. Making real estate investments is a broad topic, which is why you need to break down the information that you need to “upload” to your brain.
Once you have chosen that real estate investing niche you’re going to focus your attention on, make sure that you equip yourself with proper knowledge about the strategy that you have chosen. For instance, if you want to wholesale houses for profit, see to it that you have ample knowledge about wholesaling houses before you find the first wholesale deal.
Meanwhile, one of the best ways to make real estate investing for beginners much easier is by enlisting the services of a real estate mentor. A mentor or a coach can teach you certain things that you can’t possibly learn by studying manuals or watching instructional real estate videos. In addition, a real estate mentor can motivate you to do your best and prevent you from making costly mistakes.
As a beginner, it would be do you well if you’re going to build networks with your colleagues in the business. By having good relationships with your fellow real estate investors, it would be easier for you to find people who can provide you with real estate loans, help you with closings, or buy the properties that you want to wholesale.

Thanks for the suggestions!! I actually read a great book just the other day. “The Pizza Delivery Millionaire, A Layman's Guide to Becoming Financially Free in Real Estate” by Rick Vazquez is a fun loving parable with tips on how to invest in real estate. It tells the story of a fictional pizza delivery driver whose goal is to become a millionaire. After finding out that one of his customers has become financially independent from investing in real estate, he becomes determined to learn all that he can from this new mentor before the end of the summer. Really recommend it also!

First check with city in which you want to own rentals and find out what you need, (license) research the city requirements for rentals, check with the building inspector on what is required in the rental (smoke alarms, etc). Find someone to run you rental comps in the area to determine how much similar apartments or SFH are renting for. Then you need to determine if the rent you can get is enough to pay the taxes and mortgage on the place. And dont forget, have money put aside for repairs.
Someone suggested Mrlandlord.com. I agree 100%. I have been a landlord over 12 yrs and still find out new things on that site. I have met some of the people (yes they are real landlords) and learned a great deal. Reading a few books is good, however you need to learn the ins and outs of being a landlord and what is required to run them. Find a local LL association group and become a member. (They keep you up to date on all the changing laws that effect a LL.) and check with your city inspector, and check out the city ordinences.

everything you said is fact.
yet that is how capitalism works; there's no way to get rid of it in the U.S., since the middle class still seem to believe the lie that with enough effort and hard work they will become rich as well. From what I could tell, the only ones who manage to get rich are corrupt business owners, or people who get in entertainment (singers, sport players, actors of movies) who earn too much money for skills that shouldn't be paid so much.
A doctor, teachers, and janitor gets nothing compared to these parasites.
