Welcome to the community! 

Getting involved with the BP community is a great way to build knowledge and confidence as a new investor. Networking and education are going to be huge in your path to financial independence. If your looking for a low pressure networking opportunity, I host a monthly real estate investors happy hour in Longmont. This months meetup is on August 27th at Wibby Brewing.

Welcome to the BiggerPockets community! No matter where you stand in your real estate investing journey, BiggerPockets is the ultimate resource for all of your investing needs. I’d suggest starting out by networking with as many other investors as possible and be an active participant in the forums.

If you haven’t already subscribed to the BiggerPockets podcasts, do that ASAP. Look for meet ups in your area (or virtual), attend free webinars, start reading as much as possible on any and all topics related to investing and real estate. Use the forums to help you search for the answers to all of your questions. If you can’t find your answers, then create your own post!

Feel free to DM me with any questions.

Good luck and get educated!

Hey Sipho, closing costs can vary quite a bit from state to state but check out this link for a good overview of typical closing costs and what it means for both the buyer and seller in a transaction.

Welcome to BP! You should create an account on Meetup.com if you haven't already. I just checked and there definitely some meetup options in the Phoenix area. 

Good luck!

@Bobby Lira

Welcome to BP and congrats on the new home! Do you have extra rooms that you could rent out to offset your mortgage or possibly airbnb? Great way to get started as an investor!

Good luck out there and keep getting educated!

For me it was the podcasts that really sparked the fire. I would also highly recommend finding a meetup and actually talking to people out there.

Welcome to the BP community! 

All of the real estate books recommended here are awesome and very helpful. Some recommendations I would have which are more focused on mindset and self-development are:

The Miracle Morning - Hal Elrod

The Wealthy Gardner - John Soforic

10x rule - Grant Cardon
