Short on time but want to help an experienced investor
Hi all,
I work full time and barely have any free time with my commute. I want to learn from an experienced investor but I am always really pressed for time. I wanted to ask the BP community what are some good ideas are to learn from an experienced investor. I figure the best way to learn is to help an investor and see how they do things before I start out investing. Open to whatever ideas anyone has to see how I can not only help myself by gaining knowledge but also help an experienced investor.

@Greg Flores you can start off by finding all the REI meetings in your area & start attending. Get there early and stay late. Network, ease drop, ask questions. The more you network, the more you will learn, & the more opportunities will open up.
Read all the free content on here & listen to all the podcasts.
Also before you look for a deal, do you even know what a good deal is? What makes up a good deal & why. You can learn all of that on BP.
