I have been educating myself on real estate for a while now and although books, blogs and forums are great, finding an investor in the area to just chat with would be amazing.

I wrote a BP blog post that you can read here, https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/9522/68289-i-love-modular-construction-and-so-should-you.

A few months ago I also wrote a BP blog about the first steps to take when purchasing a property.

If you need more ways to find motivated sellers and properties, I wrote a few BiggerPockets blog posts about finding them online, offline, and through relationships, that you might find helpful:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8814/72016-55-resources-to-find-real-estate-deals-onlinehttps://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8814/71506-27-ways-to-find-off-market-and-wholesale-real-estate-deals-offlinehttps://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8814/72664-35-relationships-to-help-you-find-more-houses-to-flip-or-wholesaleInterested to hear how you’ve been, in terms of the cold calls and D4D since you started. 

Im new to blogs and forums, as ive never been tech handy, but I figured I should start.

Be sure to check out the blogs as well.  

And yes it's absolutely vital to read a ton of books, blogs and listen to podcasts every day to continue to grow your knowledge foundation.

My blog has solid resources to get you started.

This is my first post on bigger pockets though I've browsed the blog a lot and have read one of Brandon's books and will likely read more.

I have read in the blogs that the 70% rule accounts for approximately 13% of your ARV for profit.
