Fix and flip, buy and hold, wholesale etc are all strategies that you can explore while you are learning. 

As Curt said the company may be working with preferred lenders which can make your life easier, but don't be afraid to explore the possibility of using your own lenders.  

I also wanted to explore the day to day issues.  

I'm still getting involved in the forums, but I've already explored the several "Ultimate Guides" under the education tab, and have found some great things in the file place under tools.Soon I hope to jump in flipping, probably North East Baltimore and areas forward my home in Havre de Grace.Good luck!

Have you explored other lenders other than FHA?

 I am a newbie living in Bay Area, trying to explore some potential locations for investment in Multifamily units.I am doing some research on Reno/Sparks/Fernley, because of their proximity and possible potential.

I’m looking forward to exploring the site and learning from the forums and getting to know the smart and experienced people here.  

But, I am taking my time to explore all avenues to see if anything else jumps out at me.  

Let me know if you want to explore why they're doing that.

At this point now though, I feel a little stuck and I may need to just keep exploring all my options.
