Hi BiggerPockets Family,

After watching Paul Moore's live YouTube post yesterday he had mentioned to someone, thst they should wait to make their first move during this time of uncertainty, and learn during this time instead.

Well I've been listening to many audbile bigger pockets books while at work and home, and the books are the ones that are the podcasts hosts favorites i.e The E-Myth, The Book On Flipping House's etc. I also plan to listen to every podcast up to current day, and continue. I'm on show 34 and have a ways to go. I also listen/buy some books in between the podcasts and YouTube videos, but books add up in cost before you know it.

I'm also putting together all of the due diligence checklists/paperwork/team members/Microsoft project schedule, for each style house and customizing to the specifics like level of rehab or a 3 and 2 or 3 and 1 etc. Another thing I'm doing is trying to build networks with my long time friend who is a real estate agent, and has about the same goals as me.

My plan is to make my first offer on a flip Long Distance wherever it takes me after analyzing everything (my market in CT isn't that great) by May 2021 which would give me a year of full time learning every single day of the week (around 6-8 hours per day).

Do you think this is enough to knowledge to safely start by that time?

@Filipe Pereira Thank you so much! This is very helpful and detailed information. This is my personal house that I'll be selling, and there are 3 rooms that currently have ceilings fans that are out of date. They have the mounts so it "should" be an easy swap.

I like the comparison you gave between Lowes and Home Depot. I was originally thinking of using a dedicated fan company, but got to Lowes will be much easier.

This is why I joined this site, thank all of you so much. I love how quick and great the responses are. I hope to one day be able to give back the knowledge to others just like all of you did. Thanks again - Ryan 

Looking to replace an old out of date ceiling fan. I've heard mixed reviews on this. 

The house is in CT and it's a 1950 Cape with a dormer that I live in, but plan to sell within the next year. 

The room is painted with agreeable grey and white moldings. Newly refinished dark hardwood floors as well.

Main goal is to add the most value, and selling points while keeping cost down.
