My name is Ryan and I have been on the site for a few years, but haven't been able to do any deals yet other than buying my own home and renovating it over the past 3 years.

A lot of good info on this site.

It's an awesome site to get connected with people all over the world.

Podcast and blog "Afford Anything" with Paula Pant.

Attend the Wednesday webinars, listen to the free Podcasts (they can be found under the 'Education' tab) and read the Blog articles BP e-mails you.

Adwords can help to drive traffic to your site, but the cost can add up rather quickly, especially in competitive markets.

., welcome to the site!

I have been listening to BP podcasts day and night, reading REI blogs and books for the past 6 months...and generally observing the forums for the past 3 months.

You are off to a great start based on your educational background, desire & the fact that you are on this site.

Other times, this stuff is on another site at the county (like the county recorder of deeds), so you have to take the parcel number, or the subdivision and lot number, from the tax records, and do another search on that second site to find more information.
