Any suggestions or recommendations out there for best rate HELOC (not 2nd mortgage).  

But you won't realize that until after the fact when you are sitting at home with the 4 books that came with your $45,000 seminar payment and you wondering "What's my next step?"  

Quote from @Don Konipol: Everything is good, wonderful, well worth the money, an investment in your future, member of a tribe, the networking alone is worth the money, yada, yada, yada.  

In 2003, while working in corporate America someone suggested Rich Dad Poor Dad to me.

I sometimes wonder if people just feel lazy dumping their money into an index fund in the stock market and actually using all that free time to go out and live life.

I have done it multiple times and always suggest it as the best way to start.

Quote from @Monish Anand: Start by looking for personal recommendations from investors in that market, then look on realtor.com or a google search.DO NOT use agents suggested by a website like realtor, Zillow, etc.

;-) Good luck and the forum is always here to help you answer your questions/provide suggestions.

Quote from @Ashly Frasso: I would suggest this for the next time.1.

In addition to those I would also suggest making a commitment to going to local meet ups and networking events in your area.
