Greetings!

So excited to learn all I can about this market. I have always had an interest in real estate. I even purchased a Carlton Sheets system back in the day (returned it for a refund cause my ex-wife was not on board) I even remember my first exposure to real estate was through Mike and Irene Millan teaching rentals using tax free municipal bonds as an alternative to FSBO to carry the contract.

Fast forward 30 years and now I caught the bug again after listening to Clayton Morris on a TWIT podcast with Leo Leporte.

I'm trying to decide which area is the best fit, but basically I have no money, and a credit score in the mid 400's ... For now, I'm content with learning and gathering information to determine which direction to go.

What great resources we have in this day and age of information!!!

    Absolutely! Thanks for the replies. I'm currently guzzling as much as I can. I have a 10hr/day courier route with tons of time to listen to podcasts and audio books. I'm currently going through the Bigger Pockets Podcast and am half way through Brandon's no money down book on Audible.com.
