Hello and thank you for your contributions to BP.I’ve been immersed in the BP podcast while going to college studying civil engineering, and I can either do an engineering internship this summer, or shadow an investor.My long term goal is renting and holding mobile home parks and mini storage units, but I’d like to flip some smaller properties to get started.

Before doing so I have been thinking about getting my RE license to assist with deals and immerse myself the market.

Since that time, I've immersed myself in everything I could find about becoming a real estate investor, which led me to the BiggerPockets podcast.

The game played from Far Rockaway to College Point, from LIC to Douglaston is pretty much the same:  anticipating appreciation.Sometimes you can 'force' some appreciation by fixing up some units, but the rents WILL NOT cover your expenses.  

So I am back to immerse myself in the world of real estate investing, meet new people and make our lives and hopefully those we come in contact with better. 

Don't get too immersed into one track (aka 'stuck' here) and you may want to consider not framing things like this: "I asked him if he would be interested in assigning me a contract as a newbie investor and he said yes".There may be a legitimate value-add provided yet you need to go into a relationship knowing what you are seeking and knowing what the other person is able to deliver.

I like immersing myself into new opportunities and I dedicate myself to achieving my goals.  

Hence the "tough love" :D Seriously, I agree with the one guy who said to spend the next year immersed in education.

NRU is an instense 1 week of immersion training in various topics in real estate.

Hi thanks again for your kind words, I'm fairly new to real estate investing, but I have been spending many hours reading, going to seminars and really trying to immerse myself in the business and meeting a lot of amazing people.
