Please for the love of Robert Kiyosaki, search the forums before you ask these questions. They have all been asked and answered millions of times, but somehow the same questions keep coming. Bigger Pockets has more than just these forums, they also have a library of books that will answer most of these questions.

Searching the forums first will give you some base knowledge to ask a more refined question when you want to hit the forums to ask something. Better questions will get you better answers. Here are the questions to search because if you search them, you will have all the answers you need in previous posts.

- - -

1. How do I become a real estate investor?

2. Should I set up an LLC for my real estate business?

3. How can I invest in real estate with no money?

4. I want to be a wholesaler, what's my first step?

5. Should I get my real estate license?

6. Where should I invest?

7. If you had (insert random value), where and what would you invest in?

8. How do I find an investor-friendly real estate agent?

9. Do I even need a buyer's agent?

10. How do I find a real estate mentor?

11. I'm thinking of getting my real estate license, what brokerage should I go to if I don't want to be a full-time agent?

- - -

These are relevant questions and some of them are even good, but they are asked and answered over and over and over and over. If you want to ask better questions in the forums and get better answers, search the forums first, read the responses, add in the research you've done, and ask a well thought out question that has not been asked the same way a million times. Because when you don't, you will get a ton of parody answers and you won't even know that they are intended to mock the question you asked.

Does anyone want to add to this list?

the real question is how do you search.. I cant figure out how to do that..

maybe if the search function was easy folks would do it more.. I know I try to find things and cant.

and if you stopped all these questions the amount of posts would dry up to where no one would be checking to see what has been posted since every single question has been asked and answered counselor.
