Hi,

I am new to BP and to the real-estate investor world. my only (horrible) experience in real estate was to buy my personal house at peak of 2005. Since then it is yet to recover.

I am a newbie and trying to possibly look at making some inroads through limited but focused real estate investments. Any advice/ suggestions where to start? 

PS: some blogs that i read mentioned that it makes things easier if you get your real estate license? is that true? looking for some experienced advice. 

thx,

Vicky
