Hello everyone, I am very new to BP and I would like to hear how others gained knowledge about real estate investing.

Same with getting NAR designations like the MCNE, ABR, etc.Listing agents gain the confidence that you know what you are doing and won't have issues closing the transaction.

The value you can gain from taking me under your wing is giving me the work you don't like to do.

Leverage has it's place, but it's a double edged sword, it cuts both ways, it amplifies both gains and losses.For me, right now to meet my current goals, the right answer is doing a combination of flips and lending, and picking up some rentals along the way.

Don't expect a lot of traction with the first mailing. 

After hours of watching these HGTV shows on flipping i have gained a huge desire to do the same for "distressed" homes.

Equitable is when they have done something, received something, or stand to gain by proxy an interest in a property.

Hi!So basically theres a condo in to a very good complex that I want to buy and rent out. however the HOA only allows 12/60 units to be rented. its extremely rare for a unit to become available to rent and when it doe...

Is it capital gains, ordinary income or both?  

The condo is amazing with a killer view of downtown San Diego and will continue to gain equity IMHO, plus he's positive cashflow on the rental.
