Last year I bought my first single family rental (B- neighborhood) after about 5 years of listening to BP podcasts and it has been doing great.  

I have never done a Refi before, but I have learned through books, podcasts, etc that credit unions are the best place to build relationships for financing- which I completely agree.

I am only spouting something I heard on BP Rookies podcast, so I haven’t done this.

Books, podcasts, and online courses can be invaluable resources.

There's been so much interest in real estate investing and the success stories on podcasts and in books - most of which were achieved over the last decade - give people the real estate "bug" and they often over pay either because they don't know how to run the numbers or because they're just so anxious to get in.

Make sure you dig into the podcasts, books, webinars, YouTube videos and finally a local meet-up to network in person locaclly.

I have bought and sold over 1,000 properties for my own inventory, and did Bigger Pockets Podcast #82, and have spoken coast to coast from Manhattan to San Francisco on real estate topics, and wrote a book on my experiences.So I can't say I did it all on SFH, but renting houses has been a big part of my real estate investments since I first started investing.

Podcasters that does house walk throughs will sometimes say, "if this Floorplan isn't available in your city/state"  blah blah blah.
