@Brandon Schlichter you've done amazingly well, congratulations! I am new, but I have big goals and I hope to share my own experiences on here soon. I love the many real life stories provided. I'm learning so much! Keep up the great work!

Wow! Very impressive and courageous. Strong character traits👍

Hi Paul,

I'm not sure if you mean keywords on this site or just in general. Great apps that I use are: realtor.com, zillow.com, and har.com. I've found some great multi family properties on these and realtor.com even sends me emails on properties in my area up for sale. I'm currently building my real estate vocabulary as well. Good luck to you and your girlfriend! 

What a great age to get in the game! We are basically on the same page knowledge wise on real estate investing, but I'd loved to have had the conversations that I'm having on this site at your age! Good luck to you! Congratulations on your first step👍

Good Afternoon Everyone

I have learned a valuable lesson early on and I have not even began to invest! This investment opportunity that I started this topic on has been sold. How? It seems that this was a great deal for someone. I brought this investment opportunity to my "real estate agent's," attention, and after a week of no communication I decide to check on the property status....Sold

It strikes me to be very odd how all communication has stopped and the opportunity is gone! Learning lesson never the less. Because I am still very new and learning, this could have easily been a learning experience as to how the deals are made. We had an understanding that I will be diving into investing as soon as I've acquired the fundamentals for succes. What I need to start off with. I thought this person, not on bigger pockets, would be someone that I would do a lot of work with in the future.

Moving on, I am still utilizing the resources on this site. I'm currently getting down the lingo and have just finished reading An Introduction to Real Estate Investment Deal Analysis by J. Scott. Great read! Now I want to practice getting the total return on investments (TROI) from deals that I come across. 

Just an update

This is great!!!

I have a new Thursday craze!!!! Scandal, Greys Anatomy, and How to Get Away with Murder have met there match! 

@Germine James thanks for the advice. My foundation is not quite ready to build on, but with the great advice and knowledge I'm gaining from this site I will be ready to build upon soon! 

@Kevin Wood I will absolutely let you know what I come up with and good luck on your investing.👍

@Jerry Ta full service sounds great. I'll be researching contractors as well as taking Germine's advice on familiarizing myself on general repairs and costs.
