Since then I have immersed myself in getting educated and that led me to BP.

He's pretty much like a brother to me and is one of the friends I spend a lot of time with... but I don't want to be a video game playing stoner.Something that Josh and Brandon often emphasize here on BiggerPockets is to associate with the kind of people you strive to be like.

Immerse yourself in the podcasts!

I have immersed myself in the podcasts and books for the last month or so, and I think the best way to start out is networking.

Instead of tv & video games you can immerse yourself in the podcasts & webinars.

Welcome to BP @Michael Austin - better late than never, immerse yourself in the content but nothing replaces experience.

I would start analyzing deals in the local market for about six as practice and to truly immerse yourself in the inventory before making real moves.
