It started when I stumbled upon the concept of minimalism.

Greetings -- I'm not sure if this is in the right category, but as someone who's new to non-recourse loans against a self-directed IRA, the whole concept seems very creative...Anyway, my loan application is asking for a document it describes as: LETTER FROM IRA ACCOUNT HOLDER EXPLAINING THE DETAILS OF THE LOAN REQUEST.

I also thought I could market these on an individual basis and try and get top dollar and market to owner occupants for the next 9-12 months using the same concept above, but with one tweak...

Two days in the conference learning concepts and strategies for real estate investing.

This concept is common throughout many of the podcasts: people pivot to fine tune their opportunities for deals. 

Tenants are afraid to rent if they have to pay for heat, yet they often have no concept of conservation.

Ive been reading into brandon's podcasts and  I really think the concept of buying a 2 bedroom place that you can make into a 3 bedroom is a great idea.

I'd start by assessing what you know and don't know- what towns are you familiar with, what real estate concepts might fit your skills/ability/environment and then start learning more and more about those strategies.

I am just a little hesitant to get started as I really dont know where to start even though I feel I have a good grasp on the concept of REI.Any and all advice you all can provide will be golden to me and much appreciated.Thank you, and looking forward to hearing from you!
