We joined BiggerPockets about four months ago and We’ve been reading and studying a lot about the real estate business.

Join your local real estate investors association and join a local real estate agent association. 

And last but not least for the moment I’m from the great city of Pittsburgh are there any meet ups and or groups that I could join thanks in advance

Anyone have advices on the NV exam and also I am not sure yet which brokerage to join to.

Also, post this in the wholesaling forum and google Max Maxwell and join his group.When you say "renovations" what does that mean exactly?

I recently discovered how profitable certain real estate strategies can be, in part thanks to my old roommate, @Avery Heilbron, who's currently running a successful househack in the Boston area, and recommended joining this community.My current househack plan is to purchase a near turnkey SFH 3 BR in Northern Point Breeze under $300k with an FHA loan and 3.5% down, and then rent out two rooms to friends which hopefully more than covers the mortgage and live in the third, managing the property.I have no experience but have begun educating myself through seminars, blogs, and podcasts.

You should join us in Feb!

Great that you joined the site!

Just joined the forum here.
