Thanks for all your input guys! I actually joined an Association and I'm extremely happy with them! I'm closer than ever to making my first deal and a couple days after I joined I made my first phone calls....I can't say anything bad about renatus because I never actually joined, but I do believe there are better ways to go at it 👍👍👍

Thanks for that input. It really helps to hear these stories from successful investors. I'm only starting to scratch the surface on BP but I'm eager to learn. That app is gonna be a life saver as I still work 12hrs. 👍👍👍

Yes thank you, it seems I'm gonna lean toward venturing out on my own and see what the future holds. I appreciate your input and would like to keep you in my contacts if it's ok with you.

So I'm this close to getting their "essentials" package worth almost 2k. The best post about it I've seen in BP is 2 months old on a thread started 3yrs ago. I read most of it but I'm still torn down the middle on wether or not I should go ahead. The thread seems to be a group of people who believe it's a sham, then the group of students/affiliates that swear by it.

On Google it's the same story, bunch of complaints, bunch of praises. Seems to me most of these people ran away when the "affiliate" program was mentioned (you make a commission if you sell the education).

Anyone care to share their input?

Alternatively, is someone out there willing to be a mentor? Splitting profits of course. Im thinking about the essentials only(basically the legal aspect of investing) because I feel like I got the buying/selling strategies part of it down. But because I have 2 beautiful daughters I really really REALLY don't wanna make a mistake and be in debt or a worse position for the rest of my life.

Thanks a lot I hope I'm not beating a dead horse.

Greetings from Tacoma, WA ✌

@Tim West thanks for taking the time to reply! It's been a hectic weekend and start of week but I look forward to just getting out there and start working deals. Thanks for the advice! It seems Just Do It is actually a good slogan. I'll do my best to get over that bump of fear for my first deals, I'll probably shoot you a couple messages as I go and I appreciate your advice :)

Hello all! First time posting and first time trying out real estate investing. From what I read, Washington isn't an investor friendly state, but is it a good idea to start out wholesaling? The anti flipping law wouldn't apply to me since I wouldn't be putting money into the properties, but I'd like some pointers, opinions or otherwise things to look out for while starting out. I've been studying different ways to invest and it seems wholesaling is for me. At least until I have a big enough portfolio for buy and hold. Thanks!
