Hello All,

I'm still a newbie trying to learn my way through this incredible maze of RE Investing. I've seen many mentions of BP podcast being a great source of information, when I looked them up on YouTube and Spotify it seems there are tons of episodes out there!! it would take years to get through them all! haha. So I guess my question is, what is the best way to tackle diving into these podcasts? Just start with episode 1 and work my way to current? Or by specific topic using searches? Any help for a lost soul? haha

Hello All,

Total newbie here looking towards the future and I am very drawn to the potential and promise of real estate. I read a ton on Reddit, and other blogs such as this one. 

Due to personal circumstances I will not be in a position to actually "jump in" until sometime in 2026. It seems like a lifetime away, but I'm looking at this as a great opportunity to learn from the experts and save (I don't make a ton and with kids soon to be in college I make even less!). 

I would anticipate having far too many questions, I hope I don't alienate this fine community! From the reading I have done so far I feel one of my biggest issues is going to be information overload causing "paralysis"; i.e. deciding what route to take SFH, Multi family, Corporate, NNNs. Depending on what you read they all sound fantastic.

Anyways, looking forward to hearing and meeting many of you and hopefully getting in touch with some folks in the Pittsburgh area who wouldn't mind sharing their wisdom as well!

Welcome to BP! I run a free meetup group out at Giannilli’s 2 in Greensburg the 3rd Wednesday of each month. It’s a great way to learn and network. Hope to see you out there!

 This sounds like a great event! I look forward to attending soon! Thank you.

Hey @Michael Shenouda, what part of the city are you in and where are you interested in investing? I'm new to investing, but not new to the REI concept. I went through analysis paralysis for a couple years thinking I was just gathering information. What helped me get started was talking to other investors that were a step or 2 ahead of me. Reach out to folks like you're doing and you might get started sooner than you think. Good luck!


 Thank you for the kind words, I'm out south in the Mon Valley. I look forward to learning and connecting more!
