As a side note, I read the book by one of the founders of Zillow about how they update their databases every night and then I checked the value of my wife's house on Zillow and it was way off so I do not trust them anymore.

I am not saying that you should not listen to RE agents , but keep in mind that most of them needs to sell at the end of the dayAnother place to visit is the local REI club, tons of useful information and real insights if the marketLast - educate your self as much as possible regarding tenant - landlords rules and regulations for the specific city, try to learn about city cose violations etc... this way you will not be surprised down the road.I also like to recommend BP book by David Greene "long distance investing" it is very useful resource and should prepare you well for ling distance investing.Last - Good luck !!!

Have been reading the forums and books and learning about the various tyeps of investing.

The 2018 version of your book Alabama tax sales has been awesome.

I have been reading books and listening to the Bigger Pockets podcasts for roughly 8 months now.

I have been in the process of setting up my own business to do transactions under, and have been spending any of my free time reading books about real estate, setting up excel sheets, and getting to know my local neighborhoods better. 

And Hattie yes I have read Brandon’s book as well as many others and listened to almost all the podcast now.
