I decided that I could use this time off to work on my business (so I don't go back to working in it again) and I am hoping to also use some time to start studying the market here in New Orleans so that I can finally get into investing for myself.I have a list of almost 200 properties that I gathered earlier this year, when I thought I would be getting started with a partner.

Studies have *proven* that individuals consume less of everything on average when they are responsible for paying the bill. 

I currently am searching for a first rental property in the Davis County area and joining BiggerPockets to ensure I have studied enough to make my first property a success.  

By the way, I live in Sanford, and not sure why but the market is very active, every time I am studying a possible opportunity BAM...it goes into contract.

Hi, I have been studying for a couple of months now and ready to take it further through implementation and learning some more from this platform.

We did a study of how single family home rental rates for properties renting in the $1,000/Mo. to $1,300/mo. range in the area shown on the map below fared during this period.As we all know and reflected in the chart below, the property $/SqFt prices fell sharply during this period.With the high unemployment rate, falling property prices and large numbers of foreclosed homes coming onto the market you would expect that rental rates would also fall.

After ''studying'' their methods on TV, I figured it couldn't be that hard to do what those guys were doing, so went on and purchased my first condo with the little money I had when I was 20 years old.

I'm a quick study and really driven to get this thing going. 

Just starting in the Real Estate business but I'm a VERY quick study;)I've been devouring everything I can get my hands on, and came across this site  (which I think is amazing).Looking forward to networking, learning, and even maybe partnering with you soon!

I have been studying as much as I can for the past two months and just started listening to the podcasts on bigger pockets.
