I have committed majority of my time to educating myself in the real estate investing business.

Hello,I'm Tim and I'm new to this website and new to real estate investing, I'm interested in getting started as soon as possible.My goal for 2016 is to have $700 or more in passive income from real estate.I was thinking about getting started with doing 1-5 wholesale dealsbuying my first buy and holdthen put together a deal with investors or partner to buy & hold / fix & flip  10 - 15 deals for 2016I've joined this group for education, networking and resources.Thank You, Tim

But even if you lose a few thousand, it's all the price of your education.

I also see financial education and personal management skills lacking some..

Since I have been playing for a while and the industry is getting smaller due to regulations which reduces the traffic and the number of recreational players (which makes the game less profitable) I think is the moment to start transitioning to Real Estate.I am literally devorating everything in BP, just bought the 2 books of Brandon Turner (hey Brundon if you read this just let you know that I love the way you explain and the methods of teaching you follow, I really find them effective for newbies like me) so I will be trying to educate myself in RE as much as I can in order to be succesful in the future.If there is someone out there who is also starting in RE, in spanish market and want to connect me to talk about whatever or just for future networking, dont hesitate to do it!

Like many people one of my biggest objections has been educating clients on what is acceptable in hard money.

I am a newbie to the real estate investment scene.While still in the education stage trying to figure out a niche, I would love to hear from any wholesalers or flippers in the area.

Dalyn,I am also a new to this world so I will share with you what I am doing to get myself educated: 1)Go pro – No I don’t work for BP, but you get the tools you absolutely need to be successful as a pro member hands down. 2)Listen to every single BP pod cast.
