Anyways, I'm here to learn the secrets of becoming a professional real-estate investor and property manager.

There is no secret sauce to niches that always win.  

But thats cool, we want to keep it a secret so there is less competition on the deals!

We have a secret handshake and cool-aid :wink:

That's the secret sauce, renting by the room. 

.* Work ethic & drive* And most helpful of all, my ’secret’ weapon, BiggerPockets and it's awesome community It was through BiggerPockets that the complex world of real estate investing began to slowly reveal itself to me and I started to connect with key people who would help me make my first investment.I met two of my investing partners, @Maxwell Lee & @Kelly L., through BiggerPockets - They were colleague Request #16 & #17.I met @John Van Uytven through BP, who had the brilliant idea of throwing our regular coffeeshop meetings on Meetup.com to see who else wanted to join us out here in Korea.And little by little, inch by inch, that meeting has grown and grown into a full-fledged meetup.I still remember @Joshua Dorkin , BP CEO, agreeing to speak at our meetup and wanting to Skype to work out the details.

But it's hard to keep all the investors' needs and goals in unison with a long term hold.That said, if you want to look in to multifamily, you should definitely check out the books “Insider Secrets to Financing Your Real Estate Investments” and "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow...

My parents took a bite out of the American Dream as 1st generation immigrants with sweat and blood but they worked too hard unnecessarily because they lacked the knowledge of proper investing and building wealth.Biggerpockets and others are leading all kinds of people to investing which is an open secret; available to everyone but only practiced by a few.

Beware of posters who sound arrogant, claim unverifiable education and experience and treat the compounding of interest as if they personally discovered the secret of the Universe.  

Unfortunately I just spilled the secret to what is taught at these courses & what you get when you pay (I did) 15K+ to one of those hotel gurus selling wholesaling courses.
