Hello BP,Who loves Car University? What books have you been reading? This may be off topic of real estate, but I believe in self development. More tools can never hurt.Not just RE and investment books, more books like...

I'm at a point I'm sure many other new investors in BP are at where significant time self educating has been spent, but are struggling with the lack of experience or network to make some of the strategies and guidelines recommended work in the near future.Going back through podcasts and posts led me to @Brian Burke's blog post from several years ago about needing base hits before you can get the grand slam.

It was surreal, and an education by fire.

So it will take me a few more months before I can list my properties for sale.I would like to get everyone's opinion on the following questions...1.
