Hello my name is Desiree from Florida. I currently work as a nursing assistant and I would like to learn everything about real estate.  My short term goal is to become a landlord on my first property buy buying and flipping with no money or credit. Long term goal is to own at least 5 before I'm 40 which is a long time from now lol. I heard of bigger pockets by by watching the latest podcast on YouTube.

Hey @Desiree Victory, welcome to BP and the Florida investing community, and cool name btw!

Good for you for having short and long term goals.  Since you're interested in investing with low/no money, I would definitely recommend @Brandon Turner's book:

And since you want to flip houses, @J Scott's book is really awesome:

Beyond that, here are a few tips to help you get the most out of BP:

Start here. You'll get a wealth of REI knowledge and learn how to take full advantage of Bigger Pockets (including how to connect with other Florida investors).

Listen to the podcasts , get active on the forums & set up key word alerts to be notified when people are discussing topics you're interested in. 

You should definitely connect with @Jeff Riber, he's an investor/agent up in your area and who knows, he may help you find your first investment.

I'm an active investor/agent in Orlando, so feel free to reach out anytime.

I wish you all the best Desiree!
