Thanks for the info

Keep sharing the info BP nation, it really does help a lot of people.

You can also check our AirDNA to get info about AirBNB rates, etc but it is a paid service. 

Plus you don't learn the inside info or get any biddin help. 

In short, I’m all about getting as much info as I can before I start really delving into making deals.With education in mind, what are some audiobooks that you would recommend for beginners?

Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52761-the-simple-guide-to-getting-started-on-bp The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciatedThe last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

@Bill Ernst Thanks for the info that helped alot, But also I want to start small around 50k, the homes here In the detroIt area are pretty cheap.

I can't remember how much it was but I came up slightly short in getting to 20%.I wouldn't recommend this action for many/most but if you're at that age and are SURE (get some 2nd opinions and possibly post the numbers here for sanity check) that this is the deal that will kill it - then you may consider this route.good luck

I was thinking the same on not giving my info to 3rd party

@Shadonna N.If your not already in the portal, you will have to fill out a few forms with contact info, bank info etc, and then expect to not get paid for at least 30-60 days initially, they will pay the back rent, but that's how long it takes to get in their system.
