Bigger Pockets is by far my favorite resource for any and all things real estate

I've also got 3 customer homes closing in the next couple weeks, I need to design and plan the renovation for my student rental that we closed on last week, I just wrote an offer for another property to flip and hopefully I can help @Kerry Baird to buy the house that's coming up for sale 2 doors down from mine!

There's a lot of meet ups around, my favorite is in Fairfax once a month.

What happened today was, it's our anniversary, and we figured we'd take the baby for a drive around his nap-time so he'd be sound asleep in the carseat, and we could go to our favorite restaurant for our anniversary (with baby sound asleep in his carseat at our table).  

But like Nicole said, it does make you wonder when they don't show up with necessary equipment.One of my favorite jokes is that "They aren't a real roofer/contractor unless they have a 50k+ truck with a huge lift kit to show you they're "legit!"."

I frequent a few in the area, and my favorite meets this week in Fairfax.

Here's a link to some of BP members' favorite podcast episodes if you're interested.Lastly, there's been a few recommended books on BP that I have enjoyed reading lately and found to be helpful- The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan, The ABCs of Real Estate Investing by McElroy and The Book on Investing with Low and No Money Down by @Brandon Turner.

:>)Although they shut down my favorite DPT loophole, I've already identified a couple of other loopholes in the new rent control ordnance so all is good.

My favorite book on real estate is "the millionaire real estate investor" by Gary Keller.Eschew consumer and student loan debt as if your life depends on it....because your financial life quite literally does.

In fact most of my good ones call me up and drag me along in the car to review the properties the first time...My favorite example of a bad wholesaler:him: I got a property over at 123 main st I want to sell you for 18k...me: Ok, how much work does it need?
