I actually stumbled onto the podcast before the forums, and am lucky to have found such a great community and resource!

I stumbled across BP and can't get enough info.

I just stumbled upon this blog the other day: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/10042-vacation...I'll echo Peter's question from above.

I've never read a book about investing in real estate        Recently talked to a friend of mine who invest in real estate and was happy with the 13% return on investment I'm not sure how you even figured thatHe asked what investments I have and when I was going for a run and returns on flip so I told him and he figured out it's over 25% return on investment on the rentals I have  which to me is OK but not great then again I don't know what others think because I say I've never read a book about it and this is the first form I've read about it  Similar things happened in business for me I think sometimes were way down by reading too much information overload and not expecting More from ourselves and our investments are both in owning businesses as well as real estate investmentFrom what he said and what I'm reading here if I had gone by the books and the so-called gurus I would've been happy with 13% ROI and here I am at almost double that by just stumbling blindly looking at the best deals and forcing things to happen

All in the hope that I'll stumble across the one person that says "yes".
