Of course, you need to read The Ultimate Beginners Guide to REI here on BPIf you haven’t already, please read/listen to these books ASAP!

I could really use some guidance right now I listen to all the pod casts and still need help!

Have you listened to the podcasts yet?

Where I see projects fail is when owners don't listen to the paid expert party where the owner thinks they know better that the professional they hired. 

I can listen to a podcast per day generally.Welcome to Bigger Pockets !

Some will flat-out say no and some will listen to why you want to do that. 

On the other hand, I know a lot of REIA's out there are designed to make money to the point I even listened to a podcast (not BP podcast) where the guest was indicating he 'owned' a REIA.I guess my short answer is it depends on the specific group.

Make sure to listen to all the BP podcasts, read the articles on the main blog and be active in these forums to learn a ton very quickly about any topic in real estate you want to know more about.This is also a great place to meet people that can be assets to your business.

Also, listen to the podcasts on wholesaling and network with wholesalers.

My advice to you is start listening to the podcasts, and read everything you can on wholesaling.
