@Rick Richards, My opinion, after 40 years of successful real estate investing, is that 50% of all real estate guru courses are worthless, 45% are dangerous, and the other 5% vary from being marginally productive to very productive.

Hi @Richard Anderson Welcome to BP and the REI world, congratulations on your savings so far that is more than most investors start with *myself included* and to begin i would suggest taking time to fill yourself with the limitless knowledge here on BP i recommend the free training course under the education tab above it was really helpful to me and other investors also the podcasts are great information along side searching for your questions in the forums chances are extremely good that it already has an answer somewhere, but to help us help you do you have an idea which way you want to start in REI?

@Richard Capers Jr -- thank you so much!
