There is a ton of information there to help and guide you to whatever you find would be best for YOUR money.

@James Wise put together The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods.

I'm definitely not in a hurry, so I will likely be spending the next few months reading books and visiting properties before I make any major commitments.

Been reading numerous personal finance books and lurking BP for a few months now, but the savings are finally shaping up, so I've decided to take it more seriously :) I'm a recent college grad from the bay area who's been in industry for about 1-2 years now and I'm really interested in setting up a positive, reliable cashflow for myself to reach financial independence.

I highly suggest you to read, "The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Real Estate Investing."

As you can imagine, it is an awesome opportunity for me to binge read countless books and listen to an insane amount of podcasts in a very short amount of time, relatively speaking (8-10 hours a day can really knock out a good chunk of if not an entire book, perhaps two).

Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52761-the-simple-guide-to-getting-started-on-bp The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciatedThe last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

I have been reading books and watching podcasts for the last few weeks.

Followed those up with some motivational/self help reads that aren’t focused on REI and now I’m onto more real estate specific like Long Distance REI and The Book on Rental Property Investing.

I look at:- Revenue/Profit by Channel to understand most valuable channel- Revenue/Profit By Month to understand seasonality- Booking Lead time to understand behaviours -- important to know to determine ideal time to drop prices- Days booked/month and average daily rate/monthI'll update if I start mining others
