Brand New Member! Also a Question About Finding Useful Resources

[Maxwell Milholland]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Maxwell and this is my first post on the Bigger Pockets forum. I have recently sparked an interest in real estate and I am wondering how investors stay up to date on the markets and submarkets that they are interested in investing in? Newspapers, forums, television, podcasts, others?  Is it necessary to know as much as possible in a particular town or area before investing? Thankyou to anybody and everybody who takes the time to reply!
