Listen for any noise issues and research the rental demand in the neighborhood.

I've been listening to Bigger Pockets off and on for years but have always wanted to get into real estate investing.

I have been listening to the podcast for a few months now and watching the "Real Estate for Rookies" YouTube show and I've been learning and also reading different books on real-estate investing.

I’ve been listening to the BiggerPockets podcast daily on my commute and finally decided to jump into the forums to learn, connect, and start taking action.A little about me:I work as a Substation Design Engineer and currently live near the Jersey Shore.I’m focused on learning about house hacking, buy-and-hold rentals, and creative financing strategies.Right now, my biggest challenges are:Understanding the best financing options for a first-time investor.Finding a solid market near me that aligns with my budget and goals.Learning how to analyze deals with confidence.If anyone has tips, resources, or experiences they’d be willing to share, I’d love to hear them!

Have you listened to their podcast?

I've been listening to Bigger Pockets for about a year now and excited to join the community.

I have listened to the BP Podcasts for a some time now, and thought I would pull the trigger on joining the community!

Use forums to ask specific questions and listen to BiggerPockets podcasts from the past couple of years.

After listening to many podcasts with Henry Washington it seems like the MidWest has the best performance overall.Would love to find some seller financing as we would like to build our portfolio as quickly as we can. 

Of course, do your due diligence, listen to podcasts, read, research, etc.
