About 2 months ago I discovered the Bigger Pockets podcast which has changed my view on how to invest.Anyways, I have been researching Buying and holding properties for about a month now (allot of late nights to say the least).I have some idea on how to start but I am still a newbie and I have a question (I'm sure others will follow).1.

I doubt Community College will teach you anything you will ever use to make money in this business.If it did, the teachers would all be driving Rolls Royce's and living in multi-million dollar mansions--they are not.If you want to learn about SFH's (the bones and the guts of them) vs being a hammer swinger putting up framing (which you don't need to go to college to do)...study to be a home inspector at someplace like the InterNachi... https://www.nachi.org/become-home-inspector.htmOnce you earn the badges you will know your stuff about SFH inspections.But still that's a big commitment and it's not needed to make money in this business...you can hire Home Inspectors, just like you can hire tax pros, bookkeeping, and etc...If you want to learn how to "put in cabinets", "replace a toilet", "shingle a roof", add a dormer, etc...you can learn on YouTube fast and easy.If you want to learn how to frame, get a job 9 to 5 with a framing contractor, and get ready to WORK HARD.Here is a 582 page picture book of how to build a house: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Visual-Guide-Building-House/dp/1600850227Sit down next to a Keurig Machine with a book like this and your favorite mug and learn at your own pace.  

There are other ways to access this without getting your license.Knowledge of RE in studying to get your license?

Hi everyone,We just got permits for remodeling of a fire-damaged SFH in Pompano Beach (Broward County) FL, only to discover that truss manufacturers are taking 16-25 weeks to manufacture and deliver trusses. 

This is a standard Buyer-Broker Agreement in the state of Utah, and yes if you signed the brokering agent could try to collect the 3% purchase price from you regardless of who discovered the property or how it's listed.

Hi everyone,We just got permits for remodeling of a fire-damaged SFH in Pompano Beach, only to discover that truss manufacturers are taking 16-25 weeks to manufacture and deliver trusses.Does anyone in the South Florida area have a relationship with any truss manufacturers who might have quicker manufacturing+delivery time frames?

I'd highly recommend a site plan feasibility study before deciding in the direction.
