Hey all,I've been pondering the best way to keep organized as an investor and agent.  

My name is Gabriel and I am glad to be part of this organization that is full of so much knowledge.

I have short credit history, just switched lines of work (from food service to insurance adjuster) and have no savings, my parents have no equity on their house, none of my friends seem interested to join me so it has me asking... is passion and motivation enough?

I'll just throw out a little food for thought on considering what to buy for your first property.  

haha Are there any clubs or organizations in the city that people go to to network or talk about REI?

You would need to be able to make sense of the HOA financial statements of a complex you were looking at to be able to form a clear picture of the financial health of the organization. 

I like Dave''s books but that is the last dime I will ever spend with his organization.

It was on about the third or fourth time I found Bigger Pockets.I found jumping into the blogs to be a little overwhelming considering I knew absolute zero about real estate, however the easy and organized layout of the beginner’s guide was exactly what I needed.

If you present the image that you're property managers for an organization that owns dozens of properties, how does that make the "landlord" less of a target than you and hubby who own two or three properties?

Tim Cook is the organizer.
