Hello everyone I just finished the ultimate beginners guide and thought my business plan would be next step to pave the way to my investment goals, but have a question in the criteria portion Criteria - asked to define Ltv.

I also found a lot of really good info and a lot of really great community members on BP that can help you in any stage in your investing career whether you're a beginner or expert.  

My tip to you would be to read the Ultimate Beginners Guide here on BP, it gives you a pretty good understanding of real estate investing, and will help you to determine your niche.I wish you all the best!

I would just like to add onto what everyone else has said by recommending you start with the BP ultimate beginners guide to real estate investing.

It was on about the third or fourth time I found Bigger Pockets.I found jumping into the blogs to be a little overwhelming considering I knew absolute zero about real estate, however the easy and organized layout of the beginner’s guide was exactly what I needed.

One best place to start is to read the book Ultimate Beginner's Guide to REI that you can see under Learn.
