keyword searches and tailoring your BP account to you

[Nicolaas W.]

hey guys,

I have decided to focus on making my first investment property be a duplex in the Austin area. I plan to live in one side and rent the other. So I figured the best thing to learn about these subjects and my target area was to set up keyword searches, but man, I did not expect so many updates continually all day every day. I have to say it is kind of de-motivating (can I use that word) when I want to learn more about real estate and I am trying to do the right thing by focusing on a market that I am interested in, but seeing so many things popping up sometimes I can get a little lost.

what things do you do to set up and tailor your BP account to what you are trying to learn on?

I am new, I have not made an investments yet, and I am trying to become well educated, yet I feel a little overwhelmed, and when that happens, I tend to tune out.

Also, how do you learn from someone when you feel like you have nothing to offer them? I would like to learn about real estate and I love win-win deals, but when you know nothing about something, how do not sound like a needy selfish person? I would like to contribute to BP as best I can, but not sure how.
