I have been reading every real estate book, listening to podcasts, and learning for years while telling myself I justed don't know enough, don't have enough saved, or have too much to lose to get out on the edge and take a chance in investing.

READ YOUR CONTRACTS

Read Read Read. 

You may try doing some more reading on here or checking out one of the webinars to learn a little more about owning rental property; figuring out your cost basis is pretty basic stuff, and you want to have that down pretty solid before you start spending money. 

I've read a lot about the headaches that can come from D neighborhoods...If you're willing to handle some possible headaches in exchange for some potentially solid cash flow, then go for it and keep us posted as time passes after you go for it (if you decide it's worth it)!

Hello Everyone,I currently attend Georgia State University as a sophomore originally from Pennsylvania, I have been interested in REI for a while now, I've been reading, studying and watching videos all summer to prepare for my goal of acquiring 2 wholesale deals before 2018 ends!

Are there any must read / must listen to / must watch resources that can help me with my goal?

Wanted to know if anyone have read this book.

Any money that comes out of your pocket, you are spending on the property...that you don't need to spend.If I read this correctly, you're actually spending $500 more...out of pocket.Think about it this way: A - If you take the same property, and over the next 3 years you had no positive cf, because you spent it all + $500 extra on the mortgage, that property cost you about $60k. 

Any and all help, tips, information, reading materials would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.
