But I plan to use it more as a tool to expand my knowledge of this business and look forward to meeting new people. 

I think using an LLC is advisable, especially if the rehab will be somewhat extensive.

There is such an amazing wealth of information here that I just feel overwhelmed into how to go from no knowledge to first purchase.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I then sent the photos to Clayton to give him a heads-up about the extensive work still needed to be done and he again assured that the work could get underway once his crew "have legal ability to get into he house, we'll address the remaining items that need fixing and get it done."

Basically, knowledgeable brokers call us, not consumers, as it's not something advertised in the yellow pages.

What I'm looking for essentially are people with knowledge and can get me on email lists that provide properties for sale.If anyone has suggestions and advice for the newbie please feel free to enlighten me.  

Definitely wait to hear from others, but wanted to chime in that we did it without a lot of knowledge and now we're super excited to learn about real estate investing and make this a solid way to earn income! 

Really looking forward to developing my real estate knowledge and working with anyone in the Bay Area!

There is the Raiders practice facility, Costco, new shopping centers,etc.. and extension of Las Vegas Blvd going up nearby.. 

Hi BrandonLike you I've been learning through BP for some weeks now, looking to gain the knowledge needed to buy my first property and begin the path to financial freedom.
