Very cool to see someone less than 20 miles away (especially when they're so knowledgeable and deep in the biz)!  

After finishing BP's Ultimate Beginners Guide I feel confident in my drive to dive deeper.

But I agree, we have those options here as well, yes, right here deep in the Ozark hills, LOL :)

I would love to be able to dive into equity from the get go and rent the house out as it seems the dallas market has some pretty decent cash flow.

How do you know when a particular stock is going to dive; just ask me what I bought that day or week and you will know.

I will dive right into it TODAY!!!!! 

I'm interested to learn more about the math behind the deals and really dive into it so I can better understand what makes REI work.3.

I owned a few houses before the market crashed and I'm finally ready to dive back in. 

My question is the following: What would you recommend be my first steps to take to really dive deep into this sort of real estate?

I would get a coach to "vet the attorney" because you don't know what to say and what not to say as a newbieWhen I take on a new student I do thatI think real estate contract law with litigation experience and knowing what the judges will say takes somebody with some deep experience, and gray hairI would start with your REIA and talk to the president, get a name, and then have a senior Real Estate Investors talk to that attorney on your behalfIs been my experience the ratios 5 to 1 or 7 to 1 where the journey you talk to is not a good fitAnother place to look is find a CCIM and asked for the best contract attorney they know
