Newbie investor want to learn more

[Jacques Laplante]

Hey I’m a newbie investor or should I say aspiring newbie investor and I kind of wanted to know what I could do to enhance my knowledge on real estate investing.

-listen to every episode of the BP money podcast and the BP rookie podcast.

-call a bunch of different lenders and find out how much financing you qualify for. This is free (but they'll check your credit.)

-are you carrying debt? Are there ways to reduce your DTI? Can you save more each month?

-try to find some investor friendly real estate agents in your area. Look at online reviews.

-make a spreadsheet of properties that look interesting to you on Zillow, and run the numbers as rentals using online calculators.

-post SPECIFIC questions on BP (after researching the topic of the question, to see what's already been posted.)

-read a couple of Brandon Turner's books.

-watch the BP webinars each week.

-find a local REIA meet-up (many are virtual these days)

-sign up for creditkarma and monitor and improve your credit.
