What’s the best way to get started using BiggerPockets?

I’m looking to start off my life in Real Estate investment and have been researching the idea of fix & flips for the past couple months.

Permit was not approved until Sept and nothing has been started at the property; very, very frustrating, communication wise. 

I am about to start a direct mail marketing campaign and am looking for the access to gain comp information.

When I started purchasing more investment properties, it was easier to buy them under our names and SSNs.

Because just as in the case of "Cap Rate", the analysis starts out as if the property was bought for cash.]

However one thing I didn't anticipate was, while the aged sewer line could easily hand two people living in the property, when my tenants moved in and when the load on the sewer system went to five people, it couldn't keep up.Turns out the line had been damaged over time (orangeburg pipe) and was too narrow, so I had to pay to get it replaced. 

I told my friend he needs to start the eviction process now.

I have no student loans or debt and I’m looking to start investing in properties.

The caveat here was that it was family.So answering your questions:- A course could be good, but I haven't done any, always my recommendation is to have your hands dirty.
