Hi @David Huff,

Welcome to BP!

I'm new here as well and I am far from being a successful investor, but I can offer you some advice that's helped me. Start by getting educated, learn the real estate terminology, and interact on the forums. 

Listen to the BP podcasts, they're educational and can be inspiring (episode 167 is a personal favorite). Check out the BP Ultimate Beginner's Guide and then once you've finished that, read "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller and "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs To Know About Cash Flow" by Frank Gallinelli. 

Some of advice that is a common theme among all the resources and discussions is this: "You make your profit when you buy a property, not when you sell. " and "Buy under intrinsic value."

Good luck on your endeavors. Thank you for your service.

Ron

Hi @Sean Brown welcome to BP! My advice would be to start listening to the podcasts and reading the blogs. My personal favorites so far are shows #6, 14, 37, 60, 61, 74, 152. Find the one that resonates with you, take notes, and ask questions in the forums. Everyone here is eager to help and educated. Best of luck.

@Kelly McIntyre Welcome to BP! I'm new here as well. The best advice I could give is study up using the podcast and the BP Ultimate Beginners Guide. Check out podcast show #11 and #142. Best of luck.
