Forgive me if anything I'm saying doesn't make much sense, as I've been educating myself for the last two weeks, and have 0 experience beyond that.

Best/first thing to do is get educated.

At BP, not only can you connect with other investors, you can watch the free online videos, learn from the free online educational courses, and listen to BP's podcast in itunes.

Hi @Isaiah Williams,You can surely go through the "Education" tab under your account's main page.

Also, learn how to market yourself by becoming educated and promote what you are doing in a productive way.

Because they now know better and in many cases have realized their legal education and experience has not prepared them for dealing with the changes in emphasis from contract law to regulatory law.

not only the HOA fee's but the stability of the HOA... an unstable ill functioning HOA can kill a condo projects values.. use your education to delve into the financials of the HOA before pulling the trigger.

Any suggestions on educational materials, words of advice, etc.?

You can find more to resources for learning under the Education tab and good ol' networking https://www.biggerpockets.com/meet will help you learn hands on. 

Right now, I am in the Financial Sector, kind of.
