I have not yet finished the  Bigger Pockets book on real estate investing, and am reading some other sources—- I’m just looking for some general conceptual pointers about how the book-keeping acutallly works.

Bigger pockets has some good books, I'd pick up J Scott's book on estimating rehab, and his flipping book is useful, even if you don't plan on flipping. 

Hello Everyone,My name is Eric and I am an aspiring to get more involved within bigger pockets and the real estate community.

Hey Account Closed's "...Investing With No And Low Money Down" and listened to Bigger Pockets podcast 197 and was really motivated and finally found this one- this is seller financed.

Listen to the last 50 or so bigger pockets podcasts and spend at least a month reading this forum and you will learn a lot and be much closer to buying something safely that will be worth it

Welcome to Bigger Pockets.

Hello Bigger Pockets! 

Hey everyone, my name is CJ Shockley, new to bigger pockets, fairly new to real estate investing.

I would suggest getting umbrella insurance.

The only deal I am working on is currently my primary residence, which I am planning on refinancing and turning into a rental as we will be purchasing a slightly bigger home for our growing family.I just recently stumbled upon BP recently and am so glad I did.
