Thanks Guys, I think Im gonna have to do a little homework. I appreciate your replies, I will research performing and non performing and first and second. 

Hi everyone!, My name is Matt and I live on Long Island. I've been thinking of investing in tax liens and notes. Is there anyone who has experience with those types of investment vehicles? maybe some good book recommendations or advice? thanks in advance!!

Im just practicing using the calculators right now, I'm not actually doing any investing yet just practicing running #'s. I've noticed that a lot of the ads I see for foreclosures and short sales are limited in comparison to a home that is in excellent condition, seems like those properties have tons of info like floor type, wiring,etc. Do they leave out information purposely? I've found tax info to be limited and also insurance info.

Hi everyone greetings! My name is Matt I'm a complete newbie, I decided to learn how to tackle property analysis first and foremost, I feel like that is something that is critical to know. However I'm trying to use the calculators and a lot of the info it asks for I cannot find on the ads ( I'm using Zillow and Realtor.com sites ) Is this something I need to contact the agent or owner about? And if so how do I know I'm getting accurate information? Also are there other things I should learn before this? Is property analysis a good starting point? Thanks everyone in advance!

A picture is probably one of the most important aspects of your profile!

@Ryan E. I was just looking at your incredible list of books! I must say that I really like how you have other genres in there to, not just Real Estate. Books are so crucial for success!! 

I've heard Gary Keller's book The Millionaire Real Estate investor is a really good read, this one is definitely at the top of my list! Thanks @Tyler Amburgy @Mitchell Benson @John D., Ahhh Rich Dad Poor Dad is classic!! Thanks guys!

@Ryan E. I will check the podcasts, Thanks!! 

I will definitely be checking that book out @Neil Schoepp Thanks for the reccomendation! I will be looking for the book by Frank Gallinelli also!

Hello BP community, I have been reading and studying the material here on bigger pockets, the material is awesome, I am learning a lot, and there is tons of information. I would probably bet that you can never stop learning about this massive subject, however i would like some good old fashioned books to flip through to supplement my education. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance guys
