Hi guys,

My name is Chris and I am just getting into real estate investing and I love it. I really like BP a lot too after browsing through it - it will be a great resource. Anyways, if anyone has some advice on just starting out or how you learned when you started out, that would be really appreciated. Thanks!

@Christopher Salazar Reading is a great way of learning. Beyond that, the Bigger Pockets forums an incredible free resources where you can learn and ask questions. Finally, if you have time driving or exercising, I would get into some podcasts as well. Most of my learning came from the Bigger Pockets podcasts and a couple other Real Estate podcasts I subscribe to.

In the midst of the learning, you should start taking some action steps. Have you looked at your potential strategy? Have you selected a market? Interviewing Realtors, Property Managers and Lenders is also part of learning as well as putting together a team for actually purchasing.

Mike
