I've been completely immersed in books, BP podcasts, and these forums for months, and I'm now itching to connect with other investors, wholesalers, agents, and contractors.

Then immersing myself into buy and holds and then scaling to a much larger level.

Learning the business from being immersed around people on a daily basis seems to be the best policy to me. 

I am hoping that by putting myself out here and becoming more immersed in this fantastic community that I will actual follow through.  

This is my first post on BiggerPockets and I couldn't be more excited to immerse myself into the real estate investing world.

They don't address building a business, analyzing properties for profit or cash flow, or any of those topics.Indeed - none of the professions or trades can be learned in a 3-day weekend, boot camp or other "deep immersion" event.

Keeping listening to the podcasts and immersing yourself in all the knowledge and resources available here.

Deeply immersing themselves into their profession. educating themself to be the most knowledgable agent in the area. 

.- Found Bigger Pockets, immersed myself in the forums, podcasts, etc for the next 6 months.

And to beginners who are just starting out, here's my advice: start by immersing in the community.
