BP is the ultimate learning center for real estate investment.

Hi,My ultimate goal is to own a ~20/30 unit or more apartment building for cash flow. 

For fulfillment you can do it yourself to save money if you are broke, but ultimately if you want better response rates and focusing your time on value-add, then you will want to outsource fulfillment to a shop that has economies of scale and can offer you great rates.

You should research crowd funding, but ultimately speak to an attorney.

Bigger Pockets is the ultimate game changer when it comes to successful real estate investing.

BP is the ultimate real estate investing site around!

Personally, I find #3 to be the most valuable as it lets me know if my spreadsheet + intuition ultimately matches up with the sale price.  

Is anyone following this (see link to story below) and have an update on the status of the 1031 Exchange?

Whichever market you ultimately choose, make sure you understand in which part of the "real estate cycle" that market is currently in.  

@Matthew Shultis a big portion of it is the financial ability to survive until you build your business.
