Many of them sell the course at 20k a pop and that is how they “make money in real estate†Sad but true.

I am not from real estate background and have been referred to bigger pockets by friends.

In fact, some of the best opportunities in real estate come from properties that others overlook—distressed homes with potential that just need the right investor to bring them back to life.If you’ve been in the game long enough, you know that distressed properties can offer huge upside, but they also come with their own set of challenges.

Quote from @Praveen Kumar: Hi everyone,Me and my wife very new to real estate investment and yet to buy a property.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Quote from @Jimmy Rojas: I live in Arizona and homes here are sky high, youd be lucky to get %6 interest rate, I would be a 1st time home buyer, apart from being 1099 employed would Trumps real estate plans benefit the little guys like me? 

This is not unusual in the retail real estate agent world. 

Self-proclaimed Section 8 guru's online claim to do the latter and then find Property Managers after they purchase the property in whatever state, but I don't know how real that is. 

I find that it's almost a one stop shop in that I can use it for my business checking and savings accounts, bookkeeping, for rent collection, I can issue virtual credit card, I can create all the financial reports I need to run my real estate business and prepare for tax filing and through their partners I can vet my tenants, develop state-specific leases and more.

I'm new to BiggerPockets and to real estate investing.
