new from ny
Hello everyone. I'm excited to be here on BP. A week ago I attended the flipping formula workshop. That is where I got most of my information on real estate investing so far. Now I'm on my own and trying to gather as much knowledge as I can about this. I feel like a did learn a bit from the workshop but I have holes here and there on how to proceed. They wanted 28,000 and up for more classes and mentoring and I just don't have it. I really want to make this happen for me and my family. I came across BP and it looks like a good place to learn and network. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I look forward to building relationships here. Thanks in advance

@Leslie Phelan Welcome! And don't pay crazy amounts for "mentoring." Join a local real estate investment association (REIA), invite people out for coffee or lunch and ask them what they do. Read all you can here. You don't want to have analysis paralysis, but you don't want to move too fast and take uneducated risks either.
Good luck!
