I also am a huge podcast addict (also the name of my favorite podcatcher app). 1.5x speed, more info in less time except for music and motivational.80% is investing (BP, CFD, a few others that are just okay so far), 15% marketing (various), 5% music, motivation (Brendon Burchard), and personal interest.I'm going out on a limb here with this one, but I enjoy listening to Simon Black on Sovereign Man.

@Leland Smith It is nice to talk about comps but I strongly suggest you begin by looking at YouTube videos on the Uniform Mortgage Data Program.

I use Mozenda and learned from Justin McClellan from hi youtube videos.

If your not thinking the rental route, I have to say I personally received an excellent education buying and flipping my first property, did 80% of the work myself, watching youtube videos to learn how to tile along the way, etc.

Of course, being near Nashville is great for people who love a city with a unique identity, innovation and entrepreneurship, culture, music, food, art, nature, etc, etc.It's more challenging to find good deals in the city now, as it has been a really hot market, but there are still deals to be found a little farther out.Congrats on taking bold steps to improve your life!

I have no experience in real estate investing. when ever I have free time I'm always watching videos on YouTube or listening to different podcast on multifamily investing. 

Brandon (from BP) of course has great videos on Percentage Rules as well as Youtube (by the experts only) on cap rates.

What makes that scenario much less likely to happen today are the reluctance of the banks and lenders to leverage themselves that much, the forcing, by regulation, to prevent them from getting too leveraged, and the collapse of those toxic assets that used to be traded around like a game of musical chairs, with the value only set by whoever was dumb enough to pay it, in the hopes there would be a bigger fool down the road. 

@Brian Naumann  have you ever watched the Shea Show on Youtube?  

I've been begine watching Youtube videos and
