Hello BiggerPockets!
I flipped a couple of properties years before the 2007-2008 downturn, but did it while working a full time job. I had a great contractor and we worked almost like partners.I learned a lot from him and did a lot of the demo and some repairs under his supervision. He’s since passed away, and I continued to work full-time for a few years. Now I’ve decided to jump out there and begin investing full time.
Things seem very different from when I did those three properties. I feel like a novice in a very aggressive industry, but I’m looking forward to where this takes me.
One quick piece of advice. When you join our local REIAs, make sure you leave your credit card at home the first several months, as you will be confronted with a lot of information and training for sale, much of which you can learn as you go along for free.
Welcome back. I can reiterate that the Podcasts are a fantastic way to re-educate yourself. You can also join one of our local REIAs as well, as their cost of membership is low compared to the education and networking opportunities.

Thanks Chris. I plan on joining both REIAs in my area. I visited both this month and think they are a little different, but both helpful.

Welcome Camille Reynolds ! And, Chris Romany is 100% correct. Come and form your network locally, but there's nothing you can buy that can be learned for free here at BP or through colleagues/partners.
