 This is quite a list! Thank you for taking the time and writing down the list. I am happy to say Ive already begun Rich Dad Poor Dad...which is a pretty good read for an investment/ real estate book/guide. Although I don't quite understand when Robert Kiyosaki talk about the government taking almost 50% through taxes. Does the government take that much? Never-the-less I will be working through the list - thank you Shawn for your huge help!

 Thank you Phillip! Websites are a fantastic way to gain exposure. In fact a web presence has been shown to increase sales and expand your network...like BiggerPockets for instance. I would love to give a crack at making your website (if that's what you were hinting at), but lately real estate has taken up quite a bit of my time. I didn't know how much until a few days ago. I guess I was naive to think I could do two professions back to back as well as go to school...now I know better. And you're correct - the real estate world is overwhelming. I need to choose an area to focus on, learn the basics and give it my all. 

 Thank you Jon! I will definitely do that.

 Thank you Frankie! It's good to be here.

 I knew there had to be some sort of strategy in real estate. And its unfortunate to say that I may have rushed to buy the first two properties in Fowler. That being said I'll try to make the most of it and later on come up with a strategy. I like your perspective Elizabeth. I will check out the blogs, and podcasts and personal signatures. My boyfriend had hinted at how much know-how I had to learn before I could even be remotely successful, and haven taken some time to browse through the blogs, posts, forum on BiggerPockets i now know that there's a MOUNTAIN of knowledge I need to absorb. It's scary and exciting. And I'm up for the challenge. 

Thank you for responding! I look forward seeing you around as well.

Holy Moly- that's amazing! If I run into any stumbling blocks, I will definitely come to you - thank you!

 It's a professional way of saying 'gambler.' But it's more complicated than simply gambling like how a normal joe would gamble. It involves choosing a skilled sports handicapper and understanding how to bet (there's an art to betting, especially with exploring the options of parlay, over/under, spread bets, if bets and straight bets). Like how stock investors use progressive reports, some number crunching and a bit of luck for their stock portfolios to make a comprehensive outlook on certain stock options, sports investing uses a similar system to make a comprehensive outlook on certain sports picks. 

And thanks!

 Thank you!

 This is wonderful. Ive noticed almost every post or reply has someone lending off really helpful advice! This website is amazing. Thank you!

Hi everyone! My name is Christy Hall and I just got into real estate. I am always looking for ways to invest my money. In fact before real estate I was into sports investment and stocks. I scored big on sports and still do, but failed at stocks. And as the profits started to pile, I wanted more ways to invest my money. My boyfriend opened my eyes to the potential money that could be made from real estate. So I scoured the net for useful websites and found this. After reading some of the forum posts and Im excited to be apart of your community and I look forward to meeting bright informative people and making some serious connections.
