I guess my 1st step is networking...
I've joined BP a little while ago but I decided I wanted to read Brendons book on real estate with no money etc... I'm finishing up and have read a bit of other material alongside listening to podcasts. The continuing thread of advice through all of it was that I begin with networking. And so here it is... where is the alabama crew at?? lol

Welcome @Andy Valerio
I may not be from Alabama, but I will still welcome you the same :D
Great to hear you have read @Brandon Turner book. He will be glad to hear that. It is a pretty Awesome book.
You are definitely in the right place if you want to network.
Also read the Ultimate Beginner's Guide, it is short and it is free.
When you want to get someones attention use the @ symbol and write their name.
When you appreciate what someone has written make sure to give them a vote. Then they know it is appreciated.
