Hello Ayaz-I couldn't agree more with Robin and the others- There are plenty of books, seminars, and courses on real estate investing but as far as real-life interactive forums this BP website is an incredible resource.

I have been around real estate my entire life.

Many people think a good deal only happens once in a life time, once in a decade, once in a year.

Take the lumps, get rid of this albatross and move on with life.

As far as I am concerned, there is 80%+ that just go through life in a fog, can’t think or make a logical conclusion with a road map and wonder why things are going badly for them.

As I said, I live life on my terms...not anyone else's.

I would not go as far as to say that flipping, rehabbing, etc is not investing, but Tracey makes some very valid points and I agree.Buy and hold is the single most reason of wealth creation and when done correctly. can provide not only the net worth aspect, but a passive income stream for life whereas flipping and the like require an onging effort to retain an income stream.I think it is the very best way to start, although I also agree one should do a few "flips" (which can be a wholesale deal, sell a contract, rehab project, etc.) to gain some capital for buy and hold acquisitions and reserve accounts.
