New to BP!

[Joe DiMarzo]

Hey guys, this is my first post on BP. I really enjoy spending time on this website, its filled with tons of good info and resources.

Currently, I have 6 units with my dad. I'm 22 yrs old, work full-time and invest on the side, but I plan on making the transition to investing full-time in 2 years. If you take a look at my page, you can find a little more info on my real estate experience/goals. My dad is an experienced investor and he's taught me everything I know. I'm constantly looking for new resources to make myself a better investor.

Last week I went to my local bank to get some information on different financing options. The manager and I got on the topic of myself investing as a career. She thought it was a good idea for me to get my real estate license, so I could have access to the MLS and pick up the best deals. I ran that idea by my parents and they didn't agree. What do you guys think? What are some of the best ways to find good deals, foreclosures, etc?
