My wife and I have started investigating rental properties and house flipping as a way to build wealth and leave a legacy for our children.

Welcome to BP @James Boyer!  The first thing you need to do is complete your profile and upload your photo!  We all like to 'see' who we are 'talking' to; plus it shows us that you are serious about being a member of BP.

The next step is to learn and network as much as possible.  You definitely want to follow @Kim Tucker's advice and go to some MAREI meetings.  I would also recommend trying to hit a couple of Winvestor meetings as well.  Find other local investors on BP and reach out to them.  Listen to the BP podcasts.  There is a wealth of information to absorb from them.

Once you have some knowledge and a few connections under your belt, determine which investment strategy you want to pursue.  As a new investor, you should limit yourself to focusing only on one strategy until you do a few deals and feel comfortable.

Most importantly, ASK QUESTIONS!!!  We are all here to help!
