There are no "secrets" and every scheme has been tried and tried again. 

Quote from @Ricky Reddin: Hello,This is my first post on the forum and trying to get some guidance on a situation.

Try not to get overwhelmed as there’s a lot of information on BP and many avenues within real estate investing.When I was starting out, I was interested in so many strategies, but I discovered that I did my best when I focused on one or two and really built my knowledge around them.

Both of these questions will be answered more clearly by nailing down and defining your goals and what youre trying to accomplish.Personally, I will not be leaving Charleston unless this area drastically changes for the worse.

My last note would be to try to buy 3 or less replacement properties, it makes the exchange much easier and you avoid some additional rules.

I have been narrowing down some markets and trying to explore/research more and network.

I tried the "fix it" option on the Stessa site, and it constantly gave me the error that there was a problem with my bank?

Trying to make this as structured and organized as possible.Thank you.

DO NOT TRY DIY EVICTION!

Then, I would try to work for a company that will pay for your license and networking opportunities.
