Hello all,

I just discovered this site today and I'm looking for a place to learn about the basics (and later, the complexities) of investing in real estate. My dad has been investing for many years and unfortunately, he made a lot of mistakes and lost several houses along the way. I've grown up having dozens of great conversations with my dad about what NOT to do in real estate, and now I'm ready to pursue an education in what I SHOULD be doing. I'm 8 credit hours away from my undergraduate degree in business (with a concentration in accounting) and I would love to build on my business classes with some hands-on experience---but first, I want to learn and hear the counsel of those who have gone before me, so I can hopefully learn from your mistakes too!

Thanks for reading this, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. 

Heather
