I haven't checked out whether Venmo allows a payment to a business account but it might be worth looking into.I was thinking the exact same thought as I was reading this thread.

I am currently reading and watching everything I can get my hands on to increase my knowledge in the mean time.

I have begun reading the Beginner's Guide, but I would love some more feedback as I go through this process.

There is a sense of camaraderie here that is already apparent reading through the boards that I look forward to being a part of.

As I tell all newbies  READ, READ, READ.

I joined BP after reading @Brandon Turner 's books Investing in Real Estate with No Money Down and Rental Property Investing.

I’ve been reading through the forums on a regular basis, I’ve read “Set for Life” recently, and I worked through creating my own rental calculator like Scott did in the book to try and better understand all of the money related aspects that go into a rental property.

After reading about auction laws, specifically, absolute auctions I was armed with the right info in order to demand from the seller to sell me the property.

Thanks for the read! 

I've also been reading a few business books, and have just recently started collecting real estate specific books to read over.
