Hello - I’m new here. I am 50 years old, working full time, have great credit, and a total savings of $20k. I live in Portland Oregon, have done a lot of research on cost of living in other areas, and want to relocate to New Mexico. I have never owned a home. I want to purchase in New Mexico but also want to invest. I am also tired of the employment rat race; I’m not cut out for desk jobs. The upside is that I work in healthcare, so will at least be able to maintain employment most anywhere I go.

*Not trying to advertise, just thinking what people thought of my idea.* I always hear/see a lot of young investors saying they want to get started in real estate but have no money or experience. Wouldn't getting a job in construction accomplish this, over paying a guru "x" amount of dollars? I only have one to two houses im working on a time, but my cost and quality is always controlled since i do most of my own work.
