I've read the guides here on Bigger Pockets, I've listened to all the podcasts, I lurk in the forums, I've done lots of deal analysis using my own Excel sheets and other people's numbers (for practice/fun), I've read the staple books (Kiyosaki, Ferris), and, in a past life, I remodeled homes, so I have good DIY and building experience.I think I understand the basics on paper.Beyond that, I'm relatively intelligent and successful in my day job.
