Looking forward to buying my first rental.  I am currently considering becoming an appraiser as a career choice.  I welcome anyone's input.  Thanks Mark

    Welcome. 

    Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers). Find them through Google and meetup.com

    Two Great reads, I bought both J. Scott The Book on Flipping Houses, The Book on Estimating ReHab Costs http://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook

    Download BP’s newest book here some good due diligence in Chapter 10. Real Estate Rewind Starting over

    @Mark Anderson noticed you are considering becoming an appraiser - the industry has changed significantly in the last few years. Connect with a few and see if you feel it will be a good fit for you. The good news is I have never met an appraiser who didn't like to talk!

    BP is a treasure chest full of resources. You will find resources here from blogs to pod casts and forums. You can also send messages to members which is my favorite part of the website.
