I have some funds saved because I was thinking of purchasing my first home and came accross some videos on youtube about getting the best deals on houses.After continuing to watch many videos and read material I think this is something Inwould like to take my first steps into.

Plus...escape velocity...Episode 113 – Jay Papasan - Very practical slow and steady adviceEpisode 221 - Tim Shiner - his concept of equity build up and "shearing the sheep" shows some of the flexibility of real estate vs a 401k Last but not least, I also recommend all the tax advice given by my fellow CPAs on the BP Podcast.

I have studied materials and I’m focused on taking the necessary steps for my next deal.

Any thoughts and comments about my next steps are greatly appreciated.
