New to bigger pockets

Hi my name is Sam MacLean, I live in New Hampshire and am ready to start investing in real estate.  I am looking for foreclosures and have found a few I want to make offers on so I have started the process of getting pre-approved. 

The amount of loan programs are overwhelming.  I have read some articles on here but if anyone has any specific articles they liked, I would love to know about them!

I am excited to start this journey!

@Samuel Maclean 

Welcome to BP!

Here are my Quick Tips (If you're listening to the Podcasts, you'll understand the reference.  If not...see Tip #2!!!)

1.  Get involved in the forums.  Offer what you can and absorb what everyone else offers.

2.  Listen to as many Podcasts as you can.  I am listening to all of them, some of them more than once.  There has not been a single broadcast that has not provided me value or that I felt was a waste of my time.  Great content!!

3.  Download and read the free How-to-Guides, starting with the Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing.  You could pay thousands of dollars for this information BP offers free.  (I almost did!)

4.  Follow @Brandon Turner 's advice and set up some keyword alerts.  It will keep you engaged in valuable discussions, while you're getting plugged in.

The BP community is awesome, and you've taken a great first step!

Hattie
