I am reaching out to the BP community for any advice or guidance from experienced investors on how to get my feet wet before diving into real estate in the coming years.My thinking was to reach out to some wholesalers or flippers on long island to see if there is anything I can do to help their business such as driving for dollars, direct mail, or taking calls in return for them teaching me about the business before I head to Philly in 8/17. 

And with similar purchases would I would go deeper and deeper in the negatives for net worth? 

I'd like to make my first purchase within the next 1.5 years, if not less, and am trying to gain as much knowledge as possible before I dive in.Please reach out to me if you'd like to connect!

That is how you would get yourself into deeper trouble.

(Gone are the days of just throwing up any old "garden level" dump and raking in the money.If you decide to pursue Airbnb further, there are plenty of resources out there and you should read up a lot before diving in.

But I guess it's good...I just really want to get started.I've also been considering relocating to another state, getting my real estate license, and diving in...then possibly moving back to NY after a bit of success.

I am just diving into the site and it's amazing to see so many good people willing to share , help and learnReed Schlesinger please let me know how we can connect further

A lot of investors are having to dig deeper to find off market deals.

It's a great place to dive in, connect with people locally and learn. 

I'm ready to start digging deeper and seeing all my options.
