Welcome. Fill in the foundation below.

Check out the Start Here page http://www.biggerpockets.com/starthere

Check out BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide - A fantastic free book that walks through many of the key topics of real estate investing.

Check out the free BiggerPockets Podcast - A weekly podcast with interviews and a ton of great advice. And you get the benefit of having over 80 past ones to catch up on.

Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers.

Two Great reads, I bought both J. Scott The Book on Flipping Houses, The Book on Estimating ReHab Costs http://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook

Couple good reads 

You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing. Rents can be 2-4 times more. Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.

Download BP’s newest book here some good due diligence in Chapter 10. Real Estate Rewind Starting over

Hi! My name is Jamie Sentell and I'm a newbie at real estate investing. I have been reading books on the subject, attending seminars, and doing internet research for the past year. I'm ready to get my hands dirty but know that I still have a lot to learn.

I want to get into both wholesaling and rehabbing. I love the idea of rehabbing homes to create a place that a family would enjoy living in for a long time.

I am hoping to learn from the pros on this site, network to build my team, and eventually contribute helpful tips and advice once I become a seasoned investor.
