Resources To Help A New RE Investor
When you’re a new RE investor just starting out buying rental property it’s a new and exciting experience, but the amount of information overload flowing into you can be overwhelming! Then throw on everything you need to learn about renting out a property as a landlord and it becomes overwhelming times two!
That’s where I can help.
I’ve been educating landlords for close to a decade now and I’m finally taking some of my best information, most important tips and compiling it all into handy resources you can return to time after time.
Historically, many people find me after they’re having trouble, hopefully (and with you sharing this with other new landlords!) these resources can guide more new landlords before they make too many rookie mistakes that could have been avoided with a little education.
This particular resource page is targeted towards someone who hasn’t yet bought that first rental. So hopefully you’re reading this before you’ve bought anything, but even if you have there are still some important tidbits you should probably know going forward!.
For those just getting started and eager to buy their first investment property I’ve tried to break the links and articles down to logical steps and progressions for you to read through so you’re informed strategically.
Even if you are experienced it doest hurt to go through the first section as well, sort of as a refresher, so you have as much information going forward as possible!
My intent is to make this a dynamic resource, meaning new info will constantly be added. So, it might be handy to bookmark this page by itself and come back every now and then to see what’s new!
And now, let’s get educating!
Before You Buy Your First Rental Property
I still remember renting out my first property in the early 2000’s!
It was exciting, confusing and the start of an incredible adventure. We made a lot of mistakes, we made a lot of course corrections and we survived through some incredibly tough times of recessionary periods that really opened our eyes.
You see, many other investors we knew didn’t make it and I don’t want that to happen to you. That’s why I share so much information, why I help educate so many landlords and why I have readers from around the planet.
I’ve been in the trenches and made the mistakes that allow me to help so many others avoid and that little segue leads me directly to my first resource for you to read.
What You Need to Know Before You Own Your First Rental Property
This article covers three of the most important areas you need to understand as a landlord. This includes leases, tenants and systems and introduces you to the Educated Landlord Mantra…
I explain more about the Mantra in the article, and why it’s so important, so I think it’s a great place for you to start.

Dealing With Realtors When Buying Investment Property
If you’re out looking for an investment property the easiest way to get started is to have a Realtor working for you.
The challenge is, not all Realtors are created equal. And worse yet, your buddy’s brother in-law who happens to be a Realtor or your neighbor’s son, who just started as a Realtor a year ago, may not be the most qualified person to help you.
Realtors who are knowledgeable about rental properties are an entirely different animal than a Realtor who’s client base is entirely buyers looking for a personal residence. As a new RE investor, having the right person from the start can make your entire experience that much better.
As investors we have to base our decisions on the numbers, not emotions and that’s why if you’re just getting started, this is the perfect article to make sure you find that right person to help you get off to a good start!
