I can only learn so much on my own and I am hoping joining BiggerPockets will help me to further my investing knowledge, so that I may begin acquiring my own investment properties.My main goal for joining the BiggerPockets community is to start building incredible working relationships with investors, so that we may help each others business grow and be extremely successful.

========================My Realtor (possibly firing him)Lately, I've been feeling extremely frustrated with my realtor. 

@Ralph Soles Thank you, that seems like extremely realistic advice that couldn't go wrong rather than throwing myself out in the real estate world vulnerable.

I just want to get started in Real Estate Investing, and it is proving itself to be extremely difficult.

I am extremely excited to begin engaging with all yall in the BP sphere.

lol There was quite a bit of searching and several programs I declined joining over a period of a month, but what saved me was simply searching for a few questions I had about wholesaling and taking the time to read the results in the BiggerPockets forums.BiggerPockets proved to be extremely valuable after I took the time to read and research more in depth into Real Estate Investing strategies within the site.

I'm EXTREMELY excited to see how the rest of our group fares -- hopefully Thursday's results lead us to the next round!

Hi all, My name is Larry & I am from the extreme SW burbs of Chicago.

I am extremely new to real estate and while I have been trying to find an answer to this through searching, I thought I might get a better result by asking.

Legally you could do a foreclosure yourself but It is extremely complex and you would never get title insurance.
