I stumbled upon this website's articles, blogs, and podcasts a week ago and since then have been trying to soak up as much information as I can.I was browsing through the personal finance and real estate subreddits when I saw someone recommend this community as a place to gain knowledge, advice, and connections.

Soak it up.

:) This is my first deal, and while I have a decent amount of seed capital, I don't want to lose it on my first deal!

Regardless of what you're actually doing, make sure to ask questions and soak up everything you can (the good and the bad) and hopefully you'll have yourself a nice foundation.

I too recently was referred to BP by my investment counselor and I have missed a day soaking up information.  

I was offered a chance to join his team, not seed capital down, to work on some of the property management and relationship in exchange for a 20% equity stake.

Thought it might make things easier for my seed capital if I'm purchasing a property from a short sale based on what I've read but could use some help from the pros!

We became friends with him and his wife and we have been trying to soak up their knowledge and experience.  

I'm reading and soaking up as much info as possible.

I'm looking to be a sponge and soak up as much knowledge as possible!
