Thanks @Dave Visaya for the BP link...I will definitely check that out!

And thanks @Brandon Turner for the welcome message. I've listened to a lot of your podcasts and about through the Ultimate Beginners Guide as well. All of them have been a wealth of knowledge. Keep up the great work!

I also own both of @J Scott books as well. That's how I learned about Bigger Pockets to begin with. I saw his books on Amazon initially, bought them, and then found BP!

Anyway, happy to be part of this community as I begin my journey in REI.

Thanks everybody for the recommendations this far. It's pretty daunting with all the information out there but getting advice from people such as yourselves who are out there doing it is very helpful!

Hey everybody! New to the website and new to REI. I currently live in Lexington, KY and have been in sales for the last 17 yrs mostly in the pharmaceutical industry. That industry continues to evolve (not necessarily in a good way for salespeople) and I want to find a way to supplement my income now with the goal of doing it full-time.

Which leads me to my first question: I have some money I can invest to get started but not sure what avenue to pursue. My initial interest was flipping but as I learn more about wholesaling and buy and holds I'm intrigued by those prospects too.

Any suggestions from you seasoned veterans out there where a newbie with some cash to invest should start?

Thanks and look forward to some sage advice!
