I personally don’t recommend it. The content on here is free vs paying thousands for the coaching. You can either read the content on here for free or pay $4k + to have someone send you a pdf and tell you to read the content. They are some of the best salesman around though so don’t be afraid to tell them no. I would start by reading the introduction to real estate articles here and subscribe to their podcasts. Reading through the different posts and conversations on here has taught me a lot.

Great job!!! I'm in the same boat as you by having read books and listen to podcasts as well as read a plethora of blogs but have yet to take the plunge. I think sometime the school of hard knocks is the best way to learn.

@Dmitriy FomichenkoThank you for the warm welcome and thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely take the advice and get on it!!

@Andrew Syrios I shall add it to the list! Currenlty reading "The Richest Man in Babylon" Great book

@Dave Visaya Thank you!!

@Tori Prophet Thanks!!

Hello to everyone on BP!!

I am a newly married ( April 2017) oil and gas project manager in the Houston area with absolutely no experience within the Real Estate Investment world. I work a 9/80 meaning I get every other Friday off so for that I am very grateful as it has allowed me to spend additional time in educating myself on the real estate investment world which is a big one to grasp!!!

To keep it short, here are some books I have read over the past 9 months in addition to the Rich Dad Coaching I went through last year which left me disappointed. That’s another forum entirely.

The books below have not really “taught” me a single thing for Real Estate Investments but it has most definitely changed the way I think (outside the box) about currency, 401k’s, cash flow and taxes to say the least.

• Rich Dad Poor Dad (Robert T. Kiyosaki). I have read it before but a good read none the less.

• Increase Your Financial IQ (Robert T. Kiyosaki)

• Why 'A' Students Work for 'C' Students and 'B' Students Work for the Government (Robert T. Kiyosaki)

• Second Chance (Robert T. Kiyosaki)

After I read some of the above I then dove deeper into specifics by reading the following.

• The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down. (Brandon Turner)

I now have plans to dive deeper into BP, more specific books, BP podcasts that I literally just downloaded for the first time today, and work through the free content / beginners guides. Basically digging into just about anything I can get my hands on.

So cheers to the stupid questions I will have and thanks in advance for the patients and help I might receive along the way. I hope to contribute real world knowledge whether good or painful in my journey and provide true and accurate numbers on deals that were a success and those that were a failure!!

Thanks,
Dave
