Thanks for setting the record straight on the RMD component.

I awoke to the concept of REI a few months ago, discovered BP for a little over a month, became a pro a couple of weeks ago, have been reading, listening, watching lots of materials here (which by the way are awesome!)

Congratulations on discovering REI and taking the leap.

Hello, all.In my quest to repair the wreckage of my past, I have discovered real estate investing and this site.

After getting in the house and turning on the water we discovered the plumbing had to be redone.

Understanding the differences can be a bit overwhelming at first, so I recommend you start off by listening to the Bigger Pockets Podcasts.The podcasts will help you discover which type of real estate investing you like best and what you plan to focus on.If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

So my tenants had to go (repeated late rent) and when I got 'home' to start cleaning/fixing etc I discovered a pile of branches in the back yard; the tenants had Butchered my beautiful Prairie Flame Crab Apple tree - as well as removed several branches from my sugar maple.

Like attract Like.You cannot attract someone that can help you right away.... but if you prove your motivation and prepare to bring something to the table, then someone like me will be willing to take you under their wings and help each other soar to higher levels.Also, I wanted to mention that when I first started going to some network meetings in hope of finding potential partners, I discovered that there were a lot of wolves looking to eat up the young lambs.In one instance, two people, let's call them Jake and Joe, were supposedly bringing their experience and know how to the table, recruiting people who wanted in on their investments.Years later, I helped the individuals who became part of the ventures of Jake and Joe sue these two in Criminal Court for Fraud.

I discovered the BP podcast about 7 months ago and finally decided to sign up for the BP forum so I can connect with others in my area.
