I’ve listened to many podcast episodes of BP, I’ve read just a handful of different books on the subject, and most recently started an online course to get my real estate license.

From what I've read two very simple rules for your investment decisions should be that 1) it has to cash flow and 2) it needs to be value add so that you can force appreciation.

I am going to continue to read real estate and investing books, read forums on Bigger Pockets, and listen to the podcasts for the rest of this year into 2019 to arm myself with knowledge to make the process easier come time to take action. 

If you need a further proof, read "One thing" by Gary Keller. 

Look forward to reading about your success!

As I read through Alex Goldovsky's book Bulletproof Title Due Diligence (great book btw) and some of the potential title issues come to light, I'm wondering what jurisdictions you experienced investors have blacklisted and will not invest in.

Take the whole evening reading, if you like.

Yeah, he's the guy that's on all our podcasts, but the man wrote a great book that outlines so many strategies that really allow you to expand your financial possibilities.It's less than 200 pages, and I read it in 3 sittings. 

I read plenty of "Bigger Pockets"  more specifically "THE BOOK ON INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE WITH NO (AND LOW) MONEY DOWN".
