on a recent podcast Dave and Henry Washington talked about 10-15 years being a potential timeframe. 

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

I came across Bigger Pockets and am thankful for all of you and the podcasts. 

Quote from @Jacob Campbell: Hello - After listening to the podcast, I've made a commitment to purchase a rental property by the end of Q2 this year (ideally by the end of Q1).

I have two books to recommend, one podcast, and then one more summit happening in person in May for syndication investors.

They just talked about this in the latest BP podcast episode.You could also do what I did and what some of my clients have done, which is we use our LA properties as a vehicle to buy more properties.

Quote from @Rene Hosman: @Austin Wolff recently went through this process of identifying markets to purchase in and he goes over his thought process in this episode on the Rookie podcast about how he used the MarketFinder here on BiggerPockets to find markets that met his criteria Podcast: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/rookie-473MarketFinder: https://www.biggerpockets.com/marketsI specifically only focused on 2 markets (Indianapolis and Fayetteville, AR) before I found a deal using the BP "deal finder."

As you read these books, watch the BiggerPockets podcasts.

I have listened to Dave Van Horn's podcasts and read his blogs on Bigger Pockets.
