Start listening to the podcasts and you'll find that MANY of the investors out there are working a full time job. They will go in depth on how they pull it off and be very successful at investing too.

I've been wondering if it would benefit me to get my real estate license as well. Learning all the ins and outs of making deals and being able to search the MLS to find properties would be a huge help.

Depends on what the original financing was. What was the property & rehab financed?

Congrats on the progress! Care to share and more details? Numbers? Pictures?

i suggest listening to show 37 of the BP podcast.

First off, investing in real estate while still paying someone elses mortgage so he can cash flow would be the first thing i would want to eliminate. This is where i currently am in my strategy. I am renting and refuse to do so any longer. 

My plan to get out of it? Buy a multi family property. Live in one unit and let the other tenants cover my mortgage. So all the money you used to be throwing away into someone elses pockets, can now be used to invest in other properties. But this is my plan because i dont have a lot of money to invest with so i need to free up as much money as possible.

@Ned Carey yeah yeah ill be there next month!

@David Krulac wise guy.

Welcome to BP! The ultimate beginners guide is a great resource. Read it. If anything in the guide sparks your interest...do research about it to learn more. Search the forums. there's endless amount of knowledge available on this site, just have to dig around.  Read books too...i found that books help with changing your mindset when it comes to investing. 

Consider the 2% rule as a first layer of filtering? If you were given information on 1000 properties, what would you do to get a quick assessment to which to dive deeper into? 

Thanks for posting. Good read.

I think a rule of thumb, in general, should always be taken with a grain of salt. No market is the same, what might work for him might not work for you. I'm sure if you ask Brandon, he will say the same thing then continue to explain that you need to have experience in the game to know how to analyze property properly.
