What helped me build confidence were the following:-Listening to as many podcasts including BP as possible-Utilizing the miracle morning routine daily-Read as many real estate investing books that I could get my hands on-Attending as many local real estate meetups as possible-Finding a mentor that was doing what I wanted to do at a larger scale and providing him immense value so he would take me under his wing-Starting my own local real estate meetup-Walk as many properties as possible and make offers.

And do they still get ad free podcast listening?

Just listened to an interesting episode of the Bigger Pockets podcast with @josepha and it got me thinking about investing in a section 8 rental properties in more expensive markets, particularly my hometown Los Angeles.

When I have listened to the podcast and looked around on the forum it seemed like most letters were pretty simple, but I just wanted to make sure my letters looked reasonable to anyone with a little more experience.edit: The list is going to absentee owners with over 50% equityThank you!

I just wish some actually listened...

Hey Blake, If your interested in learning about land investing, Id suggest listening to RETipster. or Jerry Norton on Youtube.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending quality time with family, working out, getting active outside and listening to Bigger Pockets :)Excited to learn and connect with you all!

I don't want to spend hours on hours of listening to podcasts, picking up nuggets...and lots of fluff.  

I prefer to listen to them.
