Real Estate Investing Gone Bad by Phil Pustejovsky

[Account Closed]

Just got the audiobook. Very educational! It sounds hard to believe but makes me want to think twice about how I approach real estate.  Some catches that I noticed were:

1) Get your real estate license so that you could protect yourself even just to do a wholesale deal.

2) Hard money lenders, wholesalers, professionals in law... anyone can screw you from a deal.

3) You almost always need a mentor.

This makes me wonder, can someone really start from the bottom knowing just a scratch about real estate investing. I would still take some risks on my own when I must. The question I ask to all the experienced BP members out there would be: Is it possible to invest in real estate with so limited knowledge?
