In episode #2, Charles Roberts interviews Mark Wood about buying his first investment property here in Denver. Mark’s interest in real estate investing started about 8 years ago. He was slow to pull the trigger due to apprehension, saving a down payment, wondering “How do I get started?”, and worrying about the market heating up. Sound familiar to anyone else?!? He pulled the trigger and purchased his first property this year! Mark shares great insight and tips about buying his first property.
“Real estate investing is about me and what I want. It’s not about doing it the ‘right way’ that all the books talk about.”
