I recently joined BP after completing my Texas real estate license. We have done several rehabs and have owned one rental. Last year we took a break from real estate investment to learn more about the real estate field. We are now ready to get back to pursuing our investment goals.

    BP is a treasure chest full of resources. You will find resources here from blogs to pod casts and forums. You can also send messages to members which is my favorite part of the website.

    @Paul Timmins

    Thanks for telling me about the new book Real Estate Rewind - Starting Over. I read your chapter (lots of good information). I also acquired the books by J. Scott and have started reading The Book on Flipping Houses.

    Best Regards,

    Scott

    @Dmitriy Fomichenko

    Thanks for pointing me to the "meet" and "keywords" functionality of the BP website. I have set up a few keyword searches and have received a bunch of hits.

    Thanks,

    Scott
