Keep doing those things, get hungry but stay humble, and immerse yourself in all the great training and fellow investors available here on BP.

Like I said, it just amazes me how much the investing game has changed since I was really immersed in it a couple of years ago, especially here in Las Vegas

I have always found immersing myself in something and speaking with successful individuals in the industry to be what I enjoy.

You sound like the kind of guy that will immerse himself in the education process necessary to understand it.

The people just a few years younger had much more immersion into technology during their younger years.I think the 40+ group will be OK.

We want to rent a house, condo or flat and immerse ourselves in the local culture.What do you want to do?

I have a full-time project manager who hires and manages the contractors.So, my recommendation is to start out by immersing yourself in the day-to-day details, and once you really understand what you're doing, you can start to outsource and focus on the important stuff (like finding deals).

I have been for the past year thinking to myself what I would like to do for a new career if I decided to dissolve my business, and what keeps coming back to me is investing, especially in real estate.I have virtually no experience in real estate investing, I have been immersing myself in books, and websites, and now BiggerPockets.

They hover over the board and never get immersed in the BP Nation.

Jason: i am a retired financial planner that made some investment mistakes that now make it necessary to immerse myself in real estate to recover.mistake one. realize investing in realestate is a business. do not invest in a market just because you live there and can save money by managing it yourself. if that market is not profitable for investment you will not earn the return you need to succeed and if there is a downturn (like we have now) you can take huge losses.
