Hey all ! I'm a newcomer to BP and real estate investing. I'm interested in buying and holding properties. I was wondering if anyone has/knows of any good educational resources on this topic that would be helpful for someone just starting out.

 Welcome to the site Kemar. Right here on BP is a great place to get some education. Just go ahead & post any questions you have & there will be many members willing to provide some insight.

Feel free to tag me & i'll try to pop in & give some advice on the question within a few days.

Good luck to you!

Hi Kemar!

Welcome on the site and good luck in your REI journey.

I really like the Ultimate Beginners Guide from BP. Covers more than just B&H but if you haven’t read it I highly recommend starting there. You can find it on: https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investing

Best of luck! Feel free to pm me if you have any questions. I’ll be happy to help where I can.

Best,

Tommy
