$1 million in liability coverage really seems to be the magical number, which is why I love umbrella insurance.  

My plan is to post a series of experiences with the hope they provide information that may help someone else as they start their real estate investing journey.

Enjoy the rest of the journey and let the fun begin. 

My question is basic: what information did you wish you had a handle on before starting your investment journey?

It's different from a BRRRR, where 70% truly is a magic number.

Hurts to have spent lost money on due diligence, but I guess this is part of the process/journey of learning.

Since I still feel like I am still in the educational phase of my investment journey I feel like I don't have the knowledge to talk to some of these more seasoned investors. 

Hello BP Family,For a year now I have been reading books from the awesome BP authors and hosts of the BiggerPockets Real estate Podcast (Josh, Brandon and David) wondering how I could start my journey.Well, my journey took me to my neighborhood and specifically two streets away from my home.

Starting my journey everyone mentions FHA on a 3-4 unit but when you look at the numbers in our higher priced market, rental control laws, and long term tenants I have found only one property that means the self sufficiency test and that was in the hood. 

Hi @Samuel Merrick, I too know my clock is ticking and I’m working on this new investor journey, my plan is to retire out of the limited W2 world in the next 12-14 months and grab the bulls horn.
