I think they contain solid information and will help lay a good foundation as a beginner (Haha, I'm completely new to real estate as well, btw)I'm also going to be reading the following books, and hopefully I can finish all by the end of this month:1) The ABCs of Property Management2) The Advanced Guide to Real Estate Investing3) Long-Distance Real Estate Investing How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties (this might be the most important one to me personally)4) The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money DownIn addition to reading, I'm consuming crazy amounts of youtube videos, and I'recommend you do this as well.

I think I will use this question as the topic for my next youtube video. 

Regarding a book, I learned a lot from Location, location, location by Ozzie Jurock and he has quite a bit of free content on YouTube and his website.

Greg,You are correct I made some opinions based on reviews and a youtube video I watched where the first thing the gentleman said is "We are Not a lender".

There are plenty free YouTube videos to listen to.

I talk about this on my youtube channel.  

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

I clicked on his YouTube.

You can also listen in on Rob Abasolo's Youtube channel (Rob is one of the recent Bigger Pockets host) and you will learn a lot from him.If this group offers an opportunity to invest with them or their properties, then it may be worth the price. 

Maybe I should have stated in the original post, if you don’t like partnerships or don’t do partnerships then don’t feel the need to comment.And yes, every post I make, whether it’s on BiggerPockets, Instagram, or my YouTube channel about real estate sells my services.
