Hi My name is Patrice. I'm very interested and serious about becoming an investor. I've been doing a lot of research and I'm loving Bigger Pockets because there is so much great information here. I recently attended a 3 day seminar and now I'm ready. I will be doing this alone in the beginning and I'm very nervous but I am ready to start. Any tips or information on where to actually begin would be very helpful. Thanks so much in advance.
@Patrice Jones I see it is your first post so welcome to BP
Learn the strategies - that is the fun easy part
learn how to evaluate deals. There is a lot of information on BP how to do that.
Learn your market. Go look at a hundred houses and evaluate them. This sis the hard part that lots want to skip. You don't do this behind a computer you do this by visiting proprieties. Good luck.

@Ned Carey Thanks so much. I've been putting REI off for a while basically from fear of failing. There are so many people here on Bigger Pockets who offer a wealth of information and motivation.
Real estate gets less scary the more you know. That's why I said above to learn to evaluate deals and learn your market. Real estate is not about guessing. It is about knowing what makes a good deal, knowing the hidden costs, and knowing values.
