Hi BP!

I've yet to buy my first income property and I've just been educating myself but I'd like to move things along by networking with other REI folks. I've only found 1 REIA meeting which is in a month so i'm wondering if any of you good BP folks have some advice on how to start networking.

Thanks!

Definitely need to raise my hand for this one. I've just been educating myself for the last 3 months but i want to own my first income property by years end so i need to start networking... I haven't thought too much about it so I don't quite know where to start.

To the forums I go!

Hey Hugo!

Welcome to BP. I'm a newbie too and the articles and other resources have been really helpful.

Hi Andrea!

Welcome to BP! I'm actually reading up and listening to podcasts to do the same thing! Maybe we can help each other out. I've asked questions on the forums and gotten great responses so don't be shy about that.

My favorite books:

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki (to get you into the right mindset)

ABC's of Real Estate Investing by Ken Mcelroy (more actionable content than rich dad)

What Your CPA Isn't Telling You by Mark Kohler (typically boring topic presented brilliantly)

Great advice from all of you. Thank you!

@Aaron Yates, to answer your question, I plan on buying and holding MFHs in Miami.

Any more advice would be hugely appreciated.

And thanks again Aaron, Bryan, Stephanie and Paul!

Hi BP,

I'm planning on buying my first property by the end of the year and I've been educating myself in all thing REI for about 2 months now.

I'd like to get things moving along but I'm not sure who to talk to first. Financial Planner, CPA, Real Estate Agent, Real Estate Lawyer... Who should I go to first to start investing?

Thanks for the input all!

Hi BP,

I'm new to BP and REI and I've been trying to set up my Keyword alerts. I've still got A LOT to learn so I probably thought of about 100 keywords, but i've only got 5 spaces.

I live in Miami and i'm leaning towards buy and hold. Can you all give me some advice on the best keywords?

Thanks!
