My brother and I have decided to join this community in hopes of getting a good start in the world of Flipping. 

Start with the list criteria that will put you in front of likely sellers.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned investor, BiggerPockets has a ton of resources to help you along the way.

I wouldn't start investing in the US if you have no plans on coming back from living in China.

So I'm interested in getting started in purchasing and running self storage facilities and want to learn more.  

When I was starting, I focused on building my network, attending networking events, and was fortunate to find a mentor.

I'd say start the process of securing your HELOC if you havn't done so and spend time analyzing deals and determining what type of investor you are looking to be. 

Under "Start a Business", choose "Limited Liability Company" and follow the directions.

It's pretty easy to see that real estate proces peaked around 2007-2008 and then crashed during the Great Recession.Around 2011-2012 prices started to recover and got back to their pre-Crash highs around 2015-2016, but really 2018-2019 when adjusted.So, why are newbies reading books written BEFORE 2019 and thinking that you can still successfully invest using the EXACT advice in these relatively "old" books?

Whether your at $0 or $10mm of personal cash to start with.
