Funding BP Education

[Johnquel Jones]

I am a new REI from New Orleans(really Chalmette, LA but others only know N.O.), Louisiana. I have been on BiggerPockets for about a week now and had some questions regarding the forums. I currently have no money-just finished college-and I start my career in Accounting in about a week. However, I see that BiggerPockets has great reading material that could help me further my Education (The Book On Rental Property Investing)-I am currently in this stage of my development. In any event, I understand that BP allows you to find investors for various deals you are thinking about purchasing in RE. My question is: Am I allowed to find investors to help further my BP Education? If I am able to, I want to provide proof that I am using funds for what I say I am going to use them on. I am trying to get creative in expanding my knowledge in the Real Estate arena. I am currently watching the Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing now and would like to acquire the Book on Rental Property Investing. I do know it is possible that you might think I do not need the material. I thought I might ask to get approval first. Maybe a GoFundMe account or something for BP- who knows?? Any advice? Also, asking family members is not an option since they have their own financial situations.
