. #2 is to read everything on BP, listen to the podcasts, buy some books, to get the education you need so  you can move forward and achieve your goals.

I'm a real estate agent in Austin who's been reading about and listening to BP podcasts for a while.

Have you read any books on the different types of investing?  

But before even looking for a mentor, I would first go and start reading everything and anything that includes "Real Estate Investing" in the title.

And talk about predatory, points on my sale price, not good.As to originations, there are many RMLOs out there who think they are compliant in doing seller financing, actually not from several fronts, their employer/broker must have such loans in their charter, insured and bonded lenders aren't covered with equity funded notes, and if they do any volume they may have loan concentration issues of high cost mortgages, this goes much deeper than what our newish loan originator testing goes to that they learn and it doesn't even go into underwriting!  

BE ADVISED:  States have different regulations on this, but you become an employer and must meet all State Employment regs,  withholding, workman's comp. 

I've read all the other forums about the Allure and other vinyl products but nothing came up about this particular brand Wellmade.

Looking forward to reading it.Welcome, @JD Thornock!

I have just read David Lindahl's "Multi-family Millions" and "Emerging Real Estate Markets."

Ive read a few books and im eager to start my first project.
