However, from what I have seen and heard, I feel I am better off finding most of the same info for free both at my public library and on the Internet (including this site).

I have read a lot of material think i spent less than 50 bucks over the years mostly on the net and at the library, i get 2 hrs a day of computer time heer.

I want to contribute to the forum by spreading my knowledge of the real estate and learn and ask questions on how to capitalize with my connections, market, strategy and a newly found library on real estate topics (biggerpockets.com).

Just to the original post: You might be surprised at how easy it is to increase your forms library by spending a couple hours at the court hose searching real estate filings.

If it is, click in the text, and hit ctrl-A (PC) or command-A (mac) to select all your text, then ctrl-c or command-c to copy.

"The Richest Man in Babylon" is an old, but still very relevant classic.I'll see what the library offers and work with what I can.

I am fairly new in the game learning on my own by reading books from the libraries and this site.

(Liability issues) Same goes for electrical, that's why it's better to checkout the top rated DIY books for the field (tile, plumbing, electrical, and carpentry) from the library, go to the Home Depot classes and ask questions before you end up costing yourself more money later on.For the minority, the people who have the vast experience or knowledge in multiple fields to make the repair to code, inspections must seem like a repetitive nuisance caused by the hacks in the field who are lacking.Anyone should be able to change an outlet or repair an in place pipe.Unfortunately in my personal residence the previous owner thought to install an additional switch in the vacant slot of a 4 switch row that you could just use a jumper wire from and to the surrounding switches and make aseries connection for power to the newly installed switch

When it comes to books, I always suggest getting a library card to your local free library.

I'm interested in the security and moneysaving aspects, although the biggest benefit recently has been the health benefit for me....Things I DON'T buy, in order to save money - extended warranties, bottled water, books I can get at the library, dvd's, and things "in season" - I try to buy winter clothes and firewood in spring or summer clearance for example
