I am pleased to join this sight.
Hello everyone!
I was introduced to this site Saturday by my cousin who is mentoring me in the buy and hold market in Pittsburgh. I have one property that I bought 5 years ago from a family member and now am trying to start purchasing more and making it more of a business than a hobby. Excited to learn a lot and appreciate this site for the information I have already learned in a short period.

@Gregory Winter welcome to BP! REI definitely is the most profitable if run like a business!
The best learning tools I would recommend are:
- Read Brandon Turner's book on Rental Property Investing https://www.amazon.com/Book-Rental-Property-Investing-Passive-ebook/dp/B018UTI2DO
- Listening to the BP Real Estate podcast https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcast
- Listening to the BP money podcast https://www.biggerpockets.com/moneyshow
- Attend your local REIA meetings to network
- Start analyzing deals to get practice
- Engage more on the BP forums
All the best!
