Hi Leslie Finley and welcome to the BP community. I would encourage you to ask a lot of questions because there is a lot of experts in all aspects of RE investing. Good luck on building your business.

Great info Matthew King about the POS. I have only read about the fees and I always thought it's best to stay away from those counties because a relatively good deal can quickly become a nightmare. The fact that the repairs are not optional is what I find as so frustrating.

Hi William George , Welcome to the BP community. Regarding getting an education on RE investing, there is no better site on the web than Biggerpockets. You should also checkout the webinars that Run most Wednesday's.

Thanks @Lucas Hammer. Great info and I'll check in with more of the local investors when I'm ready to invest.

As a Pro member you are eligible for the replays of the BP webinars that @brandon_turner has recorded most Wednesdays. There's about 35 hours of listening that are packed with information.

Thanks Joseph Conrey . Nice job on the summary. I have read the book 3 times and I had forgot a few of the things you posted. This is one book that has created more real estate investors than any other book!

HiAlex B , welcome to the BP community. There is a lot to learn but the BP site is the best resource for RE investors everywhere. Be sure to check out the podcasts, webinars, books, blogs, and ask a lot of questions. On a personal note, I hope to invest in Chicago some day. Are there any neighbourhoods to stay away from?

Hi Tyler Walker, I don't know anyone directly but you may want to check with Mr. Cleveland - James Wise who I know has more Ohio connections than anyone else! Good Luck with your re-fi.

Fix and flip is a good shorter term goal but you may want to consider buy and hold for longer term passive income. Regarding connecting with other investors, there should be BP meetups somewhere around New York. In addition you should look for REA meetings of local investors.

Hi Ken R. and thanks for sharing a great story. In this space of one evening you demonstrated commitment, perseverance, creativity, and being focused on your goals. I'd say you have all the makings of a great real estate investor! Well done! If you use this same personality to overcome the countless challenges that will greet you on your road to success, you will have the ability to complete deals that others just wish they could. I have been working on a large deal for the past 2 years that I originally thought would be just 3 months. I have felt like quitting many times (about every 30 days!) but I know that giving up will lead to failure and regret. Your story showed that you have a high probability of being successful in real estate. All the best.
