Welcome to BP. One of the best things you can do to boost your forum, podcast, and book knowledge is to get out to real estate investing meetups in your area. They put everything in context when you meet others looking to do the same thing or who did it for the first time last year. You can find them in the events forum tab and on places like Meetup dot com and your local REIA.

Hi LaSha, I'm a semi newer investor myself but I've managed to scale to 9 doors across Memphis and Detroit. I also love to flip properties as well. Happy to connect and knowledge share if you are interested.
