I have been reading the blog, forums, listening to the pod casts and basically taking in all the knowledge on the site I can for the last few months so I wanted to say hello from Pittsburgh.I have been investing in Real Estate for a while now and this is one of the best sources of knowledge I have ever stumbled across.Thanks Josh and Brandon for all the info!!!!

But if I can get my taxes down by at least half, I'll get a major ROI on my investment the first year, not counting all subsequent years, so I feel it's worth it.Hope that helps.MichaelBP Blog Contributor

Also if you are flexible enough that you can also take in roommates in your unit then you could end up living free and maybe pull out a little money too.Look around on BiggerPockets and read the main blog and listen to the BP Podcasts and be active in the forums.

Be sure to check out all areas of the site like blogs and podcasts

The Blog posts and pod cast are very interesting and informative.
