Hello Carlos,

We do private loans, hard money loans (is there a difference?) and work with the best DSCR lender in the business. I am in the Kansas City area and would like to see how I may be of assistance.

I purchased an entry level course a few years ago (for wholesaling). It was great info back then, when I had little knowledge of this industry. They'll FLOOD you with information, and leave you with more questions than answers, then try to upsell to more expensive courses. However, this course was a huge boost of motivation and helped me get the ball rolling.

I think many here agree that education is important. Seminars and courses ARE forms of education, as well as this forum. I used the seminars and courses, combined with this forum to really propel me into sinking my teeth in this industry. Started wholesaling and eventually found an investor near me, that was willing to mentor me, as long as I exclusively wholesale deals to him. I forgot to mention that I found him on BiggerPockets! It's been working out great!

Like many others in this thread, I agree that this forum is all you need, BUT I can't say that this forum and podcast ALONE was enough motivation for me to get started. It has for others, but not me. Try going to an entry level course or seminar, keep an open mind. But also be aware that they will try to upsell you. I found that the courses are good enough at teaching the broad basics, and the forums are great for advise and pointing you to the right direction. Remember that no one will have all the information you will need, so sometimes you will need to figure out things for yourself!

Good Luck!

Never pay for those RE courses. Total rip off. They are full of it. Plus you can learn for free on here and listen to RE podcasts.

I second the new STR book by Avery Carl. You can find it here: https://store.biggerpockets.co...

Check out the announcements in the forums as well. We are hoping to have some great STR stories and ideas you can find in the forums.

These forums will beat any course if you put the time into learning from these experienced people. Also the new BP book on STRs by Avery Carl sounds like it contains a wealth of knowledge. I am excited to read it.
