I already have tons of questions, and I will start participating in the forums!

But KW's Agents also participate in profit sharing in each Market Center (MC). 

I have subscribed to BiggerPockets since last March, I have been reading the books suggested, I listen to all the podcasts, I m participating to the webinars, go to investors meeting, I even have TWO mentors AND I m pulling money out of my life insurance so I have cash ready to go! 

I've primarily participated from afar, reading numerous forum posts and listening to about 1/2 of the podcasts.

Take advantage of what Bigger Pockets has to offer such as: ebooks, keyword alerts, forums, blogs, awards, webinars, podcasts ( you have participated in), the learn tab, informative people in many fields of real estate, colleagues, and more.

I have also missed out of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of deals that I couldn't participate in because I was swinging a hammer.

But I believe there might be some sydication opps in the Bay area that you could participate in for smaller amounts.

I look forward to learning from the forums and participating in the discussions to offer help to others as well.  

It prevents you from participating as a partner in the projects.

It takes me about 3 hours to do the work, and the reason I have the time to do it is because I don't participate in the world of gainful employment, which is more commonly known as Job.
