If you do nothing more than post your potential deals here on BP and listen to our feedback, it should be tough to lose more than $30K flipping houses before you learn the business.

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

Read the forums here, but even more importantly, listen to all the BP podcasts - the main RE one, Rookie, Money, and On the Market.

@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.

Thanks for listening!

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

I recommend you find our podcast listen to the analysis and then contact Adam who is a St Paul expert.

Property management is one of our core services, and we've worked with numerous property managers over the years.

I think one of the reasons BiggerPockets has lost some of its popularity is due to the concerns you've mentioned.Don't listen to any of the capitalist counter-arguments posed here, you are not wrong in the things you're saying. 

Don’t listen to dooms day people like DAN H (lol just kidding ) but Dan you are so negative in the forums… you know a lot but there is a way!
