Present day: I have money saved up in Canada and have been reading books, found BP and listening to podcasts, reading forums.

The reason for this is that RE market prices are based on numerous criteria.

I am a newbie in BP, just started listening all the podcasts, fascinated by the community!

They read some posts, maybe listen to an audiobook, and tell all their "friends" on Call of Duty that they will be the next Grand Cardone.

They are often too complicated for tenants to figure out, they have too many ways to fail, and they are often easier to circumvent than a standard key lock.I use Schlage electronic door locks with a simple numeric keypad.

I had listened to Jorge on podcasts before I invested and know that he had misfortunes in another business which he detailed in Burn Zones. 

I'll give the podcast in your link a listen. 

So she has been listening to me and leveraging for a while.

@Robert Lum  you bet you can troll around a site like BP read their books listen to the pod cast of those that are successful and talk about their business's.. its inspiring and motivational.but if you really want to learn the nuts and bolts you need to get in the game.the best and least expensive way to do that is to simply take a pre license course in your state.. learn the laws ( the real laws not the BS that is talk about on line).. terminology etc. then go to work with a brokerage in the aspect of Real estate that interest  you.. there you will get REAL training by those that are successful you get on a team.. you get paid as you learn.

I can definitely attribute a lot of my success over the last few years due to the connections I made on Bigger Pockets and the things I've just simply learned by listening to and reading all the great info available here!
