BP Podcast SO. MANY. EPISODES!!

[Michael Shenouda]

Hello All,

I'm still a newbie trying to learn my way through this incredible maze of RE Investing. I've seen many mentions of BP podcast being a great source of information, when I looked them up on YouTube and Spotify it seems there are tons of episodes out there!! it would take years to get through them all! haha. So I guess my question is, what is the best way to tackle diving into these podcasts? Just start with episode 1 and work my way to current? Or by specific topic using searches? Any help for a lost soul? haha

There being so many ways to get into RE investing, it might be best to take a month or two and just listen to the last 30-40 episodes.  They do a pretty good job of trying to curate a wide variety of investing approaches/styles -- and you're likely to hear one or two that jump out to you.  Could be 'wholesaling', might be 'AirBnB Arbitrage', or 'house-hacking'.    Once you hear one that seems like it might be a good fit for your circumstances and style, drill down deeper by searching the podcast archives, and forums for more  on that topic.  

Be patient -- there is more than one right 'answer' here, and you'll probably have to narrow your options down to one or two that you'll actively pursue.   As Brandon (former podcast host) would say, "Don't try to build too many bridges to 'wealth island'".  It'll rob you of resources to complete any single one of them.  

When you learn something, take action on it.  And keep rolling that 'snowball of knowledge' over time -- and you'll be surprised how much knowledge, and experience through action, you accumulate along the way.    And, never stop learning /investing in educating yourself.
