I've been able to locate investors (though I haven't reached out to them) using tax records of properties I've been watching that are available for rent or currently under rehab.

I kind of got hung up on figuring the ARV, even after reading up and watching the video, but that is entirely different story.  

At BP, not only can you connect with other real estate investors, you can become more knowledgeable with real estate by taking the free online courses and watching the free online video tutorials.

I stumbled across the Bigger Pockets Podcast on YouTube a few months ago and have watched upwards of 30 shows.  

My name is Asya and I have been in love with real estate for years...always browsing through listings, watching HDTV, even attempted to buy a house last year (did not work out).

At BP, you can watch and learn from the free online videos and courses that BP has to offer.

Going to look at my first multi family property tonight, looking for any advice as to what to look for and watch out for as i go through this journey.Pro forma numbers are good.

I've read a couple books and watched a plethora of YouTube videos on real estate investing.

You are exactly why i do not put myself out to work with other investors, flippers especially, no concept of the time, you need to stop watching those home improvement shows, just for your information, most towns have ordinances that limit how late you can work and make noise. also good luck getting separate crews in to do same job in different rooms - like @Manolo D. said. good luck at Home Cheapo, you do get what you pay for.

The opportunity is that I know the seller, I have been watching the property for quite awhile now, I know she has been eating about $1000 a month since thanksgiving and needs to sell because she got into real estate investing without biggerpockets.
