All I had about $40K to my name and spent a good deal of time looking at properties, reading blogs, browsing Bigger Pockets, attending seminars.

I'm browsing properties online for a few different central Alabama locations, but I dont think I'm gonna be able to find a true  deal until I'm back home in person this fall.

Good evening everyone,I was informed about BP about two weeks ago and I've been browsing and listening to the podcasts ever since.

If turns out to be a rental (which is my expectation) then I will bank the cashflow and work towards the BRRRR strategy to add another property in the near future.What I’ve been doing lately to make dreams realty:-Listened to one or two BP Podcasts a day-Spent tons of spare time on Zillow browsing properties-Identified a single family property that has real potential to be my first deal-Gotten an insurance quote and dug up tax records on the property-Talked to a couple area realtors and chosen one whose background and experience best fits my goals-Toured the property-Crunched tons of numbers based on different scenarios-Arranged a second showing for tomorrow, with a local contractor who will be joining me for the showing to provide a quote on the work that would be needed.I am super excited for tomorrow!

The functionality and user interface is solid.

I think if you just continue what you are doing and browse forums, listen to podcasts, and look over some of the deals analysis done on the forums, you will get the knack for putting properties through the ringer to see if the numbers work.And if you are a numbers guy....you are already WAY ahead of the game here.  10 years is a great goal! 

You will definitely find mostly all the information you need by browsing the articles.

Google is more targeted in my opinion because if you are comparing apples to apples Google and Facebooks targeting methods It is clear Google is just better.Facebook targeting works by tracking what you like and post on its platform, what other sites you browse as long as you remain logged in on that device, and essentially will create a profile of you so that advertisers can target you based on your interests (scary I know).

As a architect and investor I have a ton of specifications that I give out but I would love to browse the book to gauge where i want to go with it.

Sorry my Name is Zac :)I just started browsing the site so I haven't really had a chance to see what is available yet, but I am really enjoying everything I have read so far.I'm not sure if there is a local Real Estate Investing Association or not, but I will definately check into it.
