What would you tell a new investor to do to get started
I have been thinking a lot lately on what I would do differently in starting to invest and what I would tell new investors if the were thinking about getting started.
In looking back I think the biggest change I would have made is to have stayed in the wholesaling stage a bit longer so that I could have built up a larger supply of cash before purchasing some buy and hold properties.
In reading some forum entries on this topic here are some of the top suggestions from others:
Right out of the gate a person should pay down their bad debt, improve their credit score and then save cash. That alone is going to make investing a whole lot easier
