I am a rather organized person that feel like with these in place it frees you up to enjoy more of life.

Any successful real estate investors that can share some of their experiences in life degree-less in the field of real estate would be very much appreciated.

A lot of forum members are very knowledgeable in their respective fields related to real estate investing, whether that is real estate sales, wholesaling, flipping, rentals, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, or tax and legal guidance.Discounts on some products and services are offered to BP members: https://www.biggerpockets.com/perks/proIf you haven’t been to it already, you might want to check out the BP blog: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/The site has quite a few tools that can be helpful for new members.

@Erik Lee, as mentioned, no money down simply means you need to create another form of value.Investors are one way, but since you mentioned "start flipping houses" I assume you have no experience, so finding investors could be very challenging.Realistically, I would say, look for work in the construction field.
