I have been educating myself and devouring the forums on this site and others in preparation for my first REI.  

We just recently relocated back to Cincinnati after living out of state for 5 years (Minneapolis MN) and are thrilled to be back among our friends and family.Our goal with real estate investing is to get educated, and ultimately use a buy and hold strategy to develop a portfolio of 7-10 properties.  

Take just a few days to really educate yourself, then you can look at special niche areas and read some good books for tips and ideas of "how to", but you need to know the basics first. 

Perhaps you could read the guide on "how to screen tenants" in the Education tab good luck! 

Mindy Jensen We have a professional education company.

You need to educate yourself and really learn the model, just like any other type of investing.  

Make sure to take advantage of all the free content to educate yourself and meet other investors in your area.  

@Justin Frye,Unlike other members here, I have first-hand experience with it (it's not "Scott Rowe's" education, he's an affiliate marketer, just like me).No, it's NOT "too good to be true", just outside the norm for what most people expect, and probably represents the future of real estate investing education (the "gurus" HATE us!). 

I'm still trying to educate myself, but I'm hoping to get our first investment property in the next 6 months.
