I think the main thing is to get around people doing what you want do to, doing your own studying, and becoming financially/real estate literate.

HML are hard - too hard for me -  When you get a great deal and you really want to hold the property - maybe a short term HML is the way to go  until you can get some "soft money".If you intend to flip the property - do not buy it..... instead  CONTROL IT with a skinny contract of sale - with all the necessary clauses in it that will benefit you and the seller.Make sure you have lots of time - use "banking days", study periods and delayed settlement terms.I think it is unproductive to use a HML for short term flips -Once you get a property under contract - start immediately to find your end user - your assignee the smart investors who can understand a bargain when one is presented. 

Im about half way done with my FL studies.  

Since I am new to REI, I figured the best way for me to learn all about Real estate and investing is not only studying and listening to the BP podcast, but looking for a job in that field.

The lot is finally almost enough to cover that balance so I can sell it.I regrouped, studied up, and purchased another property 8 years later.  

I'm studying wholesale right now and looking for my master mind group to close my deals.

Plus, I had the 203k consultant do a feasibility study this week which was $500 cash out of pocket.

I've been considering investing in the MHP University program (either Self Study or Bootcamp).

I am interested in multifamily units, but am still studying the area and learning about the pros and cons of the different types of real estate, so that could be subject to change!

I have been studying the videos and have access to the MLX.
