New Investor trying to figure out about how to use BP.

[Benjamin I Singer]

Hello all who read this! 

I posted on BP about a year ago talking a bit about my situation but I will just give y'all a quick update. I have been focusing for the last year on how to build my capital to be able to invest in Napa CA. I work in residential construction and I am working towards getting my contractors license. once I get my contractors license and built up enough capital I would like to purchase my first rehab. My plans keep changing on how I would like to go after my first deal but I definitely want to get myself into buy and holds ASAP! Maybe I will fix and flip a few more houses after the first deal or maybe I will try and do a buy and hold right after my first deal, that all depends on how much money I make off the first deal. Now that I have caught everyone up on my life a little, I would really like to start getting active in BP and start learning and putting myself out there a bit! The thing I struggle with the most is pulling up BP on the computer and knowing where to even start. How on earth should I even begin to use bigger pockets online?? I never have been one to blog or use a forum or anything online like this so what's the best way to use this? I dont have very much knowledge that I can share, when I scroll around there are so manny different people or blogs or forums. It seems like just an endless amount of information, I dont really know where to start or who to read. Every time I listen to the podcasts the guys alway say jump in and get active... so here I am! I just was hoping maybe someone had a bit of advice for a newbie like myself that really wants to learn how to utilize BP but feels very overwhelmed by it. Thanks to all who have read this post and i hope to hear from some of y'all!
