I recommend checking Real Estate Events & Meetups here on BP as well!

Those agents are recommended because they paid to be first on the list.

I am starting with a small budget(100k-120k) so trying to understand which neighborhoods I should focus on, would love to get recommendations if you have :) I live south of the city and only like to go about 30 minutes away from home. 

But I highly recommend reading "Who Not How".

If you can find practice tests, that is my recommendation - that is what I did after taking the required time component and did not have any issues passing the test. 

Any book recommendations will be very much appreciated. :) Hi @David Gotsill, @Tom Wong, @Benjamin JonesI am in Kanto and investing in Hokkaido.Agree with the comments PR and language are barriers to entry.

Hopefully, you find it helpful and qualifies us to assist you with your goals:)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Recently a friend recommended I looked into BiggerPockets as I was telling them about my "concept of a plan" and maybe he could also notice my hesitation.

Better rate would help your cash flow.i would pass,  more relevant is I recommend you pass on this purchase.good kuck Hi Dan, thanks for the reply.

For starters, I recommend to begin with a single family home or if you are looking to start locally, do house hacking.
