2) Ignite and all the other classes KW has to offer are so good so soak up everything you can learn like a sponge.

@Rob Smith - all great points above.One thing that I didn't see mentioned is becoming a private lender for real estate investors.IMHO - this is the fastest way to grow you limited seed funds.You can easily charge 1-5 points PLUS 12-15% APR for short term loans that are secured by real estate.I personally use a handful of private lenders to fund my wholesale business [I don't do assignments, I close on each property before reselling].I never pay more than 65% LTV and give the lender a Promissory Note along with a Mortgage.  

Thank you,Roby Seed

A light went off somewhere in my brain ( I do not remember the exact location) but a seed was planted.

Depending on your age and goals.. you will want to find a stand that is 30 to 50 year old.. so that in 20 to 40 years its mature.. professionally replanted stands  are best as the BF per acre at maturity will be much higher than a naturally seeded site.Excessive slope will mean higher logging costs so don't buy a property that is as steep as a cows face although no parcels are flat. or generally thats correct.Google earth is your friend.. and you can see a lot on arials...

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it takes a lot of time for the PM to build that trust back up in me so I am able to fully trust them.Quality of workCommission percentageThe amount that I pay my PM is based on what I contract with them for their services.

Hello BP Community, I'm new to 'actively' investing in real estate and looking to soak up as much as I can from the incredible knowledge base of the BP community.  

Love to get your thoughts so I can soak up the knowledge and experience that's out there!

I look forward to learning from you all and soaking up as much knowledge as I can. 

@Jonathan Pliszka You must be soaking about Trey Abel.
