My name is Jonah,  I'm a long time fan and listener of the BP Podcast and decided to finally jump in the forum! 

You'll need to get good at analyzing rehab costs and predicting after-repair value (ARV) to ensure your margins are solid.To get started, immerse yourself in real estate education—read books, listen to podcasts, and use BiggerPockets to connect with experienced investors.

Maybe this is a Milwaukee thing, but we have a lot who are either not good, cringeworthy to listen or outright dangerous, many of them with 5 star reviews on Google, which is a mystery to me

Sales or leasing offices, however, are eligible for verification.I've listened to a few podcasts and heard other real estate investors mention being registered with Google so I'm wondering how they are getting around this.

First I want to say thank you for your reply and your questions, Rene.I have been listening to Coach Carson's podcast for the last month or so. 

Like many people I'm sure that listened to BP Podcast #527, when Pace Morby made his BP Podcast intro, I soaked up everything he had to say, and re-listened to the entire episode.

Made a killing but would not do it again.I recommend you listen to that.

Go listen to The David Greene Podcast, Episode 11, and see how this guy cashed out equity and then nearly lost his shirt. 

I listened to the podcast, read the books, and connected with some great people through BiggerPockets.

Coincidentally, I just listened to episode 3690 on Next Level CRE: Power of Mindset today.
