@Brian Gibbons  good stuff...I was just thinking of this today as I had a dinky little $5k deal that fell apart at the last minute due to the owner's wife moving into the house we were going to wholesale...they apparently have marital issues....then a package deal of 4 houses where the numbers just weren't quite there for us, but I knew other buyers would take it..I know it can be easy to be discouraged...I think Mohammad Ali said something about  "It's not the mountains in front of you to climb that stop you...but the pebbles in your shoes.."  

And check out the podcasts, I like to listen in the car.

Sure I had read the books, listened to all the podcasts, and was familiar with the jargon.

Again, I was once in your shoes.

I'd like to get involved in the real estate investing industry and have been reading, listening to podcasts, and educating myself.Right now I am trying to find a full time job in a position that will give me some experience I can use to help kick start my own real estate investments (interested in rehabbing).

Been listening to the podcast and reading the forums to get a hang of everything.I ended up here because I was looking to buy a house so I set out to find out everything I could about the process and see if there was any insider trick or tip to get a better deal then just simply going to an agent and saying I want to buy a house.

With the help of several books and listening to every BP podcast over the last 2 years I've purchased 5 homes, below I've laid out my strategy.

I have learned so much here on BP, reading forums and blogs, and also listening to the podcasts (which are great).

Ive been a part of BP for some time now through which I've read endless amounts of posts, books and listening to podcast.

There are a ton of Podcast you can listen to on this site that covers that topic.
