There are plenty more resources you can find under Education from how to's, blogs from our experts and podcasts. 

Hello BP Community, I am new to real estate investing and excited to get the education I need to do my first deal.

You can even give yourself catchy name too "Mo money Muhammad"Help and educate others to achieve financial freedom.You won't be breaking the law e.g. wholesaling.

The properties have been vacant over a year and show similar ownership (each property is under some "education trust xxxx" with the xxx being the address number).

I also educate myself.

He is new to RE, but has is an educated Navy Officer looking to do something on the side.

we need your help to choose the business entity that is appropriate to our goals in REI. my partner and i are focusing on multifamily home rentals with sec8. we are trying to build passive income and maybe do flips on the side in illinois where we reside. do you think we should incorporate our business name with LLC or S-corp?

So the ideas about future education or switches would be personal decisions I suspect...On the investing side, real estate has been a worthwhile (and even profitable) part of my life (but it is no magic formula for happiness or anything).So you could see if a property (maybe think about a duplex, triplex or fourplex) would pencil out and you could even make a unit your home a short time and later rent that unit out, too, and buy another property (or just live On the Road!)......

Just stick around the forum; go through the podcasts, ask questions..Education/knowledge should come first before prospecting for deals

There is a lot of education going on, except for people like Bob who just want to act like a know it all and blast people.
