., @Mark Robertson The two I've invested with, along with 3-4 others I joined and performed cursory due diligence but haven't invested, are very clear and strict regarding solicitations and offerings to non-accredited investors.

Hi Charlie - from Chandler Just joined as well - looking to do the same.

There will be members there who also invest out of state so please join us.

I am excited about joining Bigger Pockets and cannot wait to learn from others as well as give my expert advise on issues pertaining to real estate investments.

I would love to join a real estate company if possible given my experience in property management and acquisition.

I joined about a month ago looking for the good word on tax lien certificates in Baltimore, MD, and I am finally getting around to introducing myself.My name is Andy, and I am from the Baltimore area.

I joined a local REIA group a few months back, and have been working for a local landlord, which has opened up my eyes to the up and downs of owning rental property.

I just joined Bigger Pockets in the last week as getting into this real estate thing hopefully in the next 6 months so right there with you with the plethora of knowledge and the many opportunities.

BryanL;I gotcha.finding the deals that you can "add value" to.this would work if you are doing a buy and flip, i assume not so much for people who Wholesale houses.Good point about not joining in the rush of overpriced offers when a hot new listing hits..
