YouTube and determination goes a long way.My brother in law is in banking, but it’s mostly large commercial loans.

I also have been reading books and watching YouTube videos on real estate.

We listen to podcasts, watch webinars on here and their you tube channel and bought a few of their books from Amazon that you can also get here at the "Bookstore" tab at the top. 

Reading the posts and watching the bigger pockets YouTube videos  have pushed me to invest in real estate beginning around April 2020.

@Nolan SelbyThey find ways to convince you that they have a lot of secret real estate knowledge that, should you chose to pay them to impart it to you, can turn you painlessly and quickly into a highly capable real estate investor.It's almost as good a hustle as the guy on YouTube with the big beard convincing you that he can teach you how to have the most massive, gut-busting defecation ever.

I’ve been going through books, YouTube, BP and just been soaking everything up.

I’m currently a freelance television producer looking for a secondary income stream and came across this website after seeing a video posted on YouTube from Bigger Pockets. 

Many parts of South Atlanta (East Point, College Park, Hapeville, etc.) are actively going through transformations (call it growth or gentrification) right now.

Thanks Andrew I may not be a good judge of that because I don’t know anyone personally who does real estate investingSo my only interaction with other investors is here at bigger pocketsI do think the Internet and YouTube etc are great resources but I think they’ve created a false dream with so many more gurus who make it seem so easy People talk about BRRRR as if it’s a new concept My father gave me $1.99 paper back almost 50 years ago they talked about doing it that way I wish I had actually learned from it lolI do think I’m very blessed in a way because I never found books in the library or any other information about how to flip houses so I would just stumble my way through and never looked at anyone else or any source for easy answers so now to me with the Internet and YouTube it’s just so much easier than it used to be for me personally but it could be just because I have more experience

Youtube, find a mentor or invest in yourself and pay for a course by someone reputable.
