Listen to the podcasts, read the books and blogs, ask questions to fill in the gaps.

Here on BP I make a valiant effort to consult and give value 100% free to anyone willing to listen and take my teachings seriously

I don’t know if it is just me, but I have not heard a lot of encouragement these days about going to local meetups while listening to the podcasts.On previous versions of the BiggerPockets website, it was a lot easier to find out where local meetups were being hosted because there was a link on the front page that read “meetups” and it would take you right to the meetup page where you could see a map where  people were having meetups in your area or in other areas across the country.

I go up stairs and knock, and knock, listen to hustle and bustle, knock again........Bottom line, the electric company cut off my tenant's electricity.

You listen to the host ramble on, generically answering questions, continue to tell everyone it is a numbers hame and to keep pounding the pavement OR they'll start talking about their successes.

Used to listen to your podcast a ton and loved it Gino.I'm not financial free just yet but well on the path.

@Richard White I just listened to one of the biggerpockets podcasts and they were interviewing a lady who has just written a book for Biggerpockets on investing in RV Parks.

But when you meet these subsidized tenants and listen to their stories, you can definitely sympathize for where they're coming from and understand that the program really does help people and the immense need for it in this area.

Do you really want to work with or listen to that kind of a misguided business person?

He told me about the Bigger Pockets podacsts and I've been listening and learning for a few years now.
