Thanks guys, I am going to take some time to explore the forums since a lot of my questions have probably already been asked and of course try to contribute where I can.

As soon as you cultivate this notion and put your efforts into the right place, the insights are life changing.

You can pay down mortgage faster if you want by contributing more to principal, or you can invest, or you have more room if forced to lower rent in a downturn and still hopefully cover PITI.

In turn, I will develop skills so I can contribute back.

We are open to partnering up with an experienced real estate investor and contributing in whichever way it makes sense to build upon our foundation and understanding.  

I didn't think I knew enough yet to contribute.

Hey BP community, my wife and I have a house under contract as buyers and was wondering if it is acceptable to ask our real estate agent to contribute a percentage/certain ammount of his commission torwards closing costs?

Excited to start contributing to the forums and the community.Walter R.
