My passion for data has caused me to search the net for information about real estate investing, and I find Bigger Pockets to be an excellent source of that information. 

I used my GI Bill to finish my undergrad but I have struggled to find a career I am passionate about and motivated to go to everyday.

I'm currently watching all of Neva Williamson's videos. 

A buddy of mine interviewed my about our 100th flip.  https://youtu.be/Sc3d7b0vqG8

The online wasn't anything like my online college courses - it was simply that the PDFs of the book chapters are online, and there were videos of one of the instructors pretty much reading the book to you more or less verbatim.

Thanks again and looking forward to learn, network and contribute to an already stellar community of people that share my REI passion!

It also has a lot to do with passion.

I love finding properties, getting the work done, finding a tenant, etc...so I am passionate about real estate but I'm also passionate about investing wisely and seeing my money grow the best way possible.I guess being a yopung investor I just want to hear that I'm doing the right thing from more experienced investors...and if I'm not, advice as to a better route to take.

if you sit at home reading books, articles and how-to videos all day and all night, but never do any real action, you will never, ever get a deal.6 - 9 months may have been a good number for those people.  

Spend 30 minutes a day on Bigger Pockets by connecting with “colleagues,” perusing blogs and videos, and engaging with others on the forums: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet 7.
