While not as effective as a face to face I've gotten go leads doing this when I'm in areas where they don't meet frequently or I'm there between meetings.You can also look for realtors who are selling the type of property you're interested in buying, go to their personal website and see if they are selling a number of investment homes or if that was just a one and off.

I am very interested in flipping houses and I am currently educating myself on the process.

In addition we are also looking for a mentor in the buy and hold/fix and flip realm to gain real world education about our current strategy.

or other governmental entities (including health agencies) have educational materials that may shed some light on the problem?

Welcome to BP, @Chance BostickYou may start from the Education section; listen to the podcasts and webiners..Life is a school of learning, and we all learn one thing or the other each day...Feel free to ask any question and stay close to the forums: you will learn a ton!

If you want accurate values, you need to get comps and property assess a property.As far as future values go, you take take your best educated guess based on a variety of statistics (like job growth, population growth, increase in median wages, etc) but nobody has an accurate crystal ball.

I understand that on BP there is a culture that paid workshops are unnecessary and scams, however I have found them very educational and useful.

Well thank you all very much for the insight - obviously I needed an education on that topic!

I've had a interest in real estate for a while, but it's been difficult to find money, time, and education to get started.

Gm, my name is Amory and i live in Buffalo, NY. i am an ambitious investor looking for education and deals/ opportunities to acquire my first of many investment properties.
