I listened to the Rich Dad Poor Dad series through you tube for free. Very inspiring and easy to listen to anywhere. That's just my 2 cents from a newbie. 

Good luck

Thanks for all the information. Looking forward to getting involved and networking with more experienced investors.

Congratulations! I look forward to joining that club soon. Definitely plenty of help here on bp.

Thanks Mark, yes it does I'm looking to find a way to get plugged in to a local group or community and start growing in wisdom, experience and most importantly my business.

Thanks again

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if there are any meet ups in the metro Detroit area, specifically around the New Baltimore, Chesterfield, Macomb Twp areas.

Thanks

Don

I'd like to do buy and holds as well as the occasional flip. 

Hello BP,

My name is Don Cooley and I am excited about getting into the world of real estate investing. I do have a question about getting creative with financing. I have a job right now working with the railroad making decent money, albeit 50% money, but I had to short sale my old house almost 3 years ago. The problem is ALMOST 3 years ago and not 3 years ago which appears to be the magic number. I have to wait until July of next year to qualify for a standard mortgage but, I am not wanting to wait that long. I would like to get my feet wet and get my first deal. I do have some money set aside in the stock market and would be willing to use it to get started. Anything you all can suggest or offer as advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Don
