The steps are simple: get involved with that REIA, as another fellow told you, read the guides on BP, listen to the podcast, start educating yourself, and start analyzing deals.

So needless to say no longer involved in Section 8.

I'm still waiting to find my first deal but I expect it to be involve some rehab.  

We grow corn, soybeans, wheat and hay on property we own but also land we rent from others.I really enjoy Bigger Pockets and hope to get more involved.

The JV terms are set on how much you want to help,  if you put up all the capital and I do the work,  the split won't be 50/50, there is quite a bit of work involved.

AP cases that involve color of title are unique in terms of how they are possessed.

@Rashad Jennings Property management in Atlanta is a great business to get involved with.  

They learn "long term" is really, really, really long and don't have the patience to wait it out for 20 to 30 years for the loan to be paid off.In 13 years heavily involved in the investment community in Houston I have never heard a landlord brag about his rentals, the income they generate, and the lifestyle they create unless they owned a minimum of 15 to 20 doors. 

You can put your equity into a nicer neighborhood with better tenants and less capital expenditures (if you aren't already in a nice neighborhood) and also reduce your involvement by hiring a property management company.

There are lots of ways to learn more and get involved in the local real estate investor community in NOVA.
