Hey Jonathan, I think the most important thing is listening to what the instructors emphasize.

Would you try to have a civil conversation with or even listen to someone who you asked for advice if they immediately started calling names and treating you like a worthless human being?

BUT it was like herding cats to get work done, then had to listen to emotional, demanding 'your never home' wives, too much beer on the rehab & frustrations galore.

Watch or listen to the podcasts, webinars, etc.

I found Bigger Pockets through youtube and have been watching videos and listening to podcasts for the past 5 months gathering information to figure out what we want to do next.Recently we bought a home up in Napa Valley upcountry that we intended to rehab and use for a vacation rental as well as build an ADU to add another rental space or use for ourselves. 

I realize you get out what you put into it, but I have bigger long-term goals of doing some flips and getting into rental properties for passive income.I've been doing a lot of reading, listening to BP as well as other podcasts, and pretty much just being a sponge and soaking in everything I can. 

Also recommend listening to any podcast you can get your hands on.

While working, I have also been listening to Biggerpockets podcasts, watched webinars, and reading articles such as "The Beginner's Guide to Real Estate" to try to absorb as much information as possible.

I have listened to the BP podcast for a couple of years now but am just becoming active on this site.

I've been scanning the forums and listened to @Scott Smith on the Bigger Pockets podcast #109 talk about how real estate investors should maintain separate LLCs--one as the operating company, one for their fix and flips, and a separate entity for their buy and holds.
