However, I started ramping up towards the end of 2015 by finally reading ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ (found at another thrift store), buying J Scott's books on flipping houses and Brandon Turner’s books on rental property investing, listening to the BP podcasts (I’m on episode 108 as of now), and engaging more on the BP forums.This is my typical day now as a Newbie RE Investor: When I wake up I open the BiggerPockets app on my phone and I read and engage in the forum posts.

Looking forward to sharing ideas and experiences with the Bigger Pockets social network.
