Any advice, education recommendations, or ideas you all have learned from your RE experiences are greatly appreciated!

Regarding what you were talking about, with $40k and 150 mile radius you can get into several markets with the leverage of hard money.

Hi Eddie, I would be happy to provide you with some resources for your educational event(s). 

I would have bought assets instead of a mountain of liabilities and got my financial education right instead of what my broke parents taught me about money .

I've gone through enough real estate education to know that just about everybody recommends pinpointing certain areas -- zip codes or sometimes even neighborhoods -- in which you see a lot of cash-buyer activity and targeting those areas to find houses.

Paid off the private money loan, the closing cost and walked a way with about $500.00 the whole process took 9 months.We could have done it on the 160K, however I did not want to over leverage the property on our first try.

I just want to have a little more education instead of going down the wrong road(if there is a wrong road)

We plan to leverage the Bigger Pockets Lease agreement. 

The education I received through the podcast was invaluable in giving me the knowledge and confidence to do the first deal.

Anthony,  That would make sense when you have equity to leverage.
