Greetings

[Michael Hill]

Hello my name is Mike Hill.  I am a new real estate investor in the Indianapolis Indiana area.

[Tom Mole]

Well, a hardy welcome to you, @Michael Hill, and a belated welcome to you, @Michael Lee. Congrats to each of you for joining the BP community. You're the right place!

Michael, since you're just starting out you may want to read virtual cover to virtual cover the "Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing". It's great place to start.

Next, download all of the podcasts starting with the latest. Listen to them all, in your car, while you're out walking the dog, when you're taking a break from a nagging wife, whatever. There's a lot of fantastic content there and its all FREE! @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner are like a couple of adorable frat brothers. Their guests have a wealth of experience that can guide you through the treacherous water in the beginning.

Tap into the weekly BP webinar that Brandon hosts. Lot's great topics and mostly targeted at folks just getting started. In fact click on the education tab above and just step through all of it. There's nothing there that you don't need, books, webinar, educational programs, etc. and (almost) all free.

Finally, troll the blogs and forums. If you have a particularly burning question, don't be shy about posting it in the appropriate forum. Most of the folks out here won't bite. Those that do usually get bitten back by a still bigger dog, so you're in a safe place.

Whatever else you do never ever stop learning and taking action (in that order).

Happy holidays!
