@Alain Perez-Majul, if your Broker friends are MAKING MORE MONEY as Wholesalers than as Brokers (after finding their own deals), then in my books they are denying the Seller as much money as THEY should have made - which surely MUST be forbidden because of their fiduciary duty!

They are both great at learning the fundamentals.Also - here's a couple articles you might enjoy:The 21 Best Real Estate Investing Books Ever How to Rent Your House: The Definitive Step by Step GuideHow to Be a Landlord: Ten Tips for SuccessFinally -be sure to setup some keyword alerts - especially for "Pinellas County" so you can jump into local conversations.See you around the forums!

Finally got my head out the books and I'm actually doing something.

I have read a few books and am learning the language of real estate.

A good book to get you started, for Small Multi's read "Investing in Duplexes, Triplexes and Quadplexes" by Larry B Loftis.  5.

I've read alot of books, but I have no real world experience.

I've been reading books like crazy, watching YouTube, listening to webinars, and will be attending my first meeting next month.

I read a lot of books on real estate investing and what youtube videos all day on strategies to reaching my goal by I want to hear from the bigger pockets community whats the step for a new investor and what strategy is best for the inexperience real estate agent from New Jersey!

Of course, you need to read The Ultimate Beginners Guide to REI here on BPIf you haven’t already, please read/listen to these books ASAP!

They don't file for you but they will watch your books and let you know when something should be added for a deduction.
