Pro membership, is it really worth it?

Question

Hello BP community!

Is a pro membership worth it? The reason I am asking is because I am newbie and I'm not sure if that is something I should get starting out or wait on.

@Tyler Lay This is something I pondered for a long time and I was a Plus member for a while before I upgraded to Pro.  In my opinion, this all depends on your goals and how far you want to take your real estate investing career.  If you are going to treat your investing like a business (which you should) then 100% yes a Pro membership is worth it.  If you are still not quite sure the level you want to be at then I would hold off for a bit, continue to be active on BP and come back to it in a few months and ask yourself the question again.  BP is a great resource no matter which level you are or which membership you have, it is all about what you want to get out of it.  Hope this helps!

I appreciate your input, I would eventually like to replace my w2 income with real estate income, but I only just started my journey. My goal is to get at least 1 property in 2019, which I have been working towards. I spoke with a lender a few days ago and now I think the next step is to talk with a realtor to begin looking at potential properties. I think I should  wait a few more months before I decide about the pro membership but I wanted to hear other people's opinions.
