Those that participate get more out of the site.

As you learn and participate in the forums and you will inevitably meet people who can teach you the in's-and-out's of Investing In RE.

Course Title: Flip It...A Look Into Investing in Today's Real Estate Market Course Summary: This course examines investment opportunities in real estate, including personal residences, rental properties, and "flips," and shows participants how to determine which investment are smart ones.

If any one want to discuss the pros and cons I'd be happy to participate.

It is advisable to do your due diligence and ask about such things as how long have they been in business, are alternative assets their sole focus, are they BBB accredited and rated, are they a regulated financial institution, have they ever been sanctioned by any regulatory bodies, how many accounts and how much in assets do they administer?

So I don't care if you don't participate in my or any other program, contribute financially to BP (if you don't you SHOULD bc of all the value they give you, and trust me they work their BUTTS off!)

Read, participate, and enjoy.

The ability to do a post mortem on each to project will allow you to learn from your mistakes and build an institutional memory of what things actually cost so that estimating will be more accurate going forward and be done more efficiently.

As I'm new to the BiggerPockets community , I also barely know anything about real estate and would really like to learn the ropes as well as associate with others to participate in projects .
