I wasn't planning on making any deals out of state for a while yet, so I'm not sure if there is anything I need to watch out for in terms of state to state deals.

I have a background in the construction industry and have watched others do it but never felt comfortable putting my family in financial jeopardy by taking the risk.

I feel as if I'm not taking enough action even though I'm reading, watching webinars, and listening to podcasts at all times throughout the day!

You will find a lot of markets that make so much more sense than the insane areas like the Bay Area and NYC but also watch out for the "hot" ones since that's where everyone has gone. 

., upload them to CL, put a ridiculously low price, and watch the phone ring.

@Gabby Rich hey start off with the beginner guides,read,and watch a lot of videos about real estate investing 

hello everyoneI am chad and I am looking to learn about real estate investing i have been watching the bigger pockets videos on u tube lately and decided to join the group I am hoping to learn and research some more before i jump i and buy my first rental property. 

As long as you stay away from 'self dealing' that is one of the biggest things to watch out for. 

When things went "pop" south of the 49th and we watched them slide off the tracks, there was an about face in Ottawa (a slow one, but it did finally happen) and regulators for residential real estate financing started to reverse course.It is still easier to borrow to buy real estate than it was in the 80s and the unprecedented run of low - almost no - interest rates has helped fuel the continued rise of several real estate markets in the country which should have gone "pop" themselves some years ago.

I found biggerpockets through youtube after binge watching and listening to about 100+ podcast and the videos of the Podcast.
