I am currently working alot of overtime at the moment so I am unable to attend meet ups so I am curious about any books you have read for the fundamental knowledge on buy and hold invests and rehabbing properties. 

Now, I know that the real estate pros say to never try to time the market, however, the fundamentals don't look too great right now and there is a good probability that buyers will be able to buy at lower prices if they wait a bit.

I understand we're in a hot market and speculation is driving prices out of its fundamental behavior but, I was wondering if my analysis is lacking some type of piece or my math is from another planet.

If I'm missing any fundamental aspect (I'm sure I am)?

Meanwhile construction, design, utilization of the space are fundamental in real estate development, none of that is possible without capital.

I will say I think any business that relies on deceiving the people you work with is fundamentally flawed.

If they don't understand the fundamentals of capital generation and  spending less than they earn (most of them probably haven't even earned yet), they won't grasp the importance of your role as a real estate investor in their community, not to mention the number calculations behind a deal.  

Rich Dad, Poor Dad was one of the fundamental elements that sparked my start in real estate as well.

@Sonu SidhuA fundamental rule in business: avoid owning properties (or doing any business, for that matter) with family and friends.But you already crossed that bridge and will probably dismiss my warning.

I am currently studying the fundamentals of the real estate investing game (i.e. realtors, investors, HML's, PML's, financing, etc.) and I have yet to build a network.My goals are to have wholesaled 6 homes by the end of 2015, rehab and flip 2 homes by the end of 2015, and grow a network of buyers, realtors, lenders, contractors, etc. for the years to come.My reason for joining BP is to step up my networking.
