Bigger Pockets has various resources: ebooks, forums, blogs, webinars, podcasts, keyword alerts, an awards system, a learn section, colleagues, informative people in many fields of real estate, and more. 

I also have some free ebooks coming out on self managing, self-managing from a distance, etc. if your interested I would recommend signing up for the free news letter as it will keep you appraised of all the latest tools.The key is to figure out your business model and strategy.

I currently live in the Boston area working in digital marketing / advertising and am looking to invest throughout the New England area and potentially beyond that depending on the opportunity.

Is there a promise of a free ebook upon signup?

I wanted to share my new e book with everybody out there.

(i.e: 850K for a 1 bed condo in Vancouver) We currently have two properties that are cash flowing into the 3 digits at 0.7% - 0.8% respectively.In our market if you get 0.8% you're making a killer profit !

Even in the least expensive places I rent out, I install shower towers with a raincan, a handshower, digital temperature readout, and massage/misting jets.

It would make me think they don't have the money.So, right now, there is a big push to go digital. 

There was this part in the e book where he mentioned if a house is on the mls to try "double dipping" with one agent, getting under contract,  then offering a little more comission to their 6% if they mention the house to an investor also interested in that property...is this legal???

You still stand a chance to make 5 digits (even if low), but make sure your ARV and rehab costs have wiggle room.
