Deeper knowledge will always outweigh risks. 

I am about 50k over in a messy flip I bought from a skeezy (think boiler room sales tactic, no RE knowledge) BP wholesaler (without doing due diligence because they set it up so you have to buy on the spot).

@Subbie Kaur: Thanks for your input and my strategy is to buy low and sell High, with that said I am in the beginning stages of investing and have a limited knowledge of the inner workings of Taxation Corporation structure so on and so on and I'm sure there will be some bumps along the way but to make a long story short my strategy is simple to make money honestly and legally regardless the end of the day make money

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/renewsblog/The site has quite a few tools that can be helpful for new members.

Recent knowledge gained from @BrianMurray ‘s book “Crushing It In Apartments And Commercial Real Estate” has changed my perspective on what is possible, and where I should set my aims.

I've reached out to few firms and didn't get the best vibe of their real estate knowledge from a quick phone interview.

In honesty though if you don't sign the former no good agent will work with you because the good ones are so busy they don't have time to waste on someone that doesn't value their knowledge and experience.

I'm a small fish and new at this too but the exponential growth in my knowledge is incredible.

Upfront I’m nowhere near as knowledgeable as others on here and am learning everyday.
