Real Estate Education 101

[Corbin Wafford]

Hello!

I am new to the game but love learning about real estate. Currently, I am listening to podcast, audio books (currently "How To Win Friends & Influence People"), and reading (The Ultimate Beginners Guide (UBG) and Rich Dad Poor Dad).

In the UBG, it states that learning the lingo and understanding the terminology/processes/education is the first place to start. So, with that being said, other than what I am currently doing, could you please share with me some resources that have helped/helping you grow (other the forums)?

Much appreciated!

Hey Corbin!

I'm new to investing also. I've been doing research/education for the last 4 months. I would suggest hitting up BP's top 20 books list. I've read about 12 of them. There is a mix of business (mindset) and real estate (how-to's, actionable steps) books. You can tell which is which by the title. Also keep listening to the podcasts, and if there is ever a phrase your don't understand, look it up.

I'm just now able to start going to REI groups/meetups and that has been very beneficial as well. You can search for some on Meetup.com or by googling "REI association [your area]". There is only so much you can learn on your own. REI is a system built on relationships. Gather what knowledge you can to understand the lingo and get out there and meet people. Don't consider other investors competition, as everyone can learn something from anyone else.

Good luck!
