Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Andrew Fernando. Josh and Brandon are interesting, but you're right, they don't tell good bedtime stories. Although they can help you dream about real estate...

So you've found our Podcast and these forums. Did you know we also have a Blog? There is even MORE information there. Be careful, you won't EVER get to sleep reading those posts!

Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Wayne Wiebe. I, too find this part of the financial world fascinating! 

Have you heard of the BRRRR strategy of investing? Rather than fix and flip, you fix and rent the property.

Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Chris Schady. There is a sizable contingent from the Twin Cities here on BP. Have you set up your keyword alerts yet? Set at least one for your local area so you can keep up with conversations and start networking with local investors.

Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Dan Taifer. 

4 already? That's so awesome!!! Congratulations.

So you want to learn about real estate? You're in the right place. Check out our top rated podcast. Forbes just named it one of seven to download today.

Our blog is written by investors who freely share their experiences and knowledge. 

And you have found our forums, yet another source of great information.

Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Karen Stone.

I don't do any wholesaling, but I love fix and flips. Having an "extremely handy" husband will be quite the advantage - I have one, too!

For your first flip, look more for cosmetic flaws, like ugly flooring, outdated kitchens and bathrooms. The 1970's and 1980's are your best friends. Although the 90's were pretty bad, too. Whitewashed cabinets? No thanks!

Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Barry Conrad. I'm in Longmont, so I used to be a neighbor...

I see you are a Property Manager - we can ALWAYS use good property managers around here. I started a forum post looking for good PM stories, and got some great examples of great PMs. Check it out here.

Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Michael Lee. 

Real Estate investing can be a hands-off way to invest, but you need to put in some up-front hours to find a great property manager who can handle all the issues for you as a landlord. Turnkey Buy and Hold seems to be the most hands-off way to invest, other than a REIT.

There are some great Turnkey providers here on the site, so check out the upper right corner search bar and type in Turnkey. 

Hey @Shane Cook. Welcome to BiggerPockets. I was going to suggest you connect with @Dawn Anastasi and @Ramon Jenkins but they beat me to the welcome! 

A great way to stay connected to Milwaukee-area investors is to set up your keyword alerts to include at least one for Milwaukee. 

Have you checked out our Podcast, or Blog yet? 

I love Menards, too. I moved from Madison to Colorado, one of the states Menards isn't in yet. But they are in WY, just a hop skip and a jump away, so I do drive the whole way up there when I need something like doors. Can't beat those prices on doors from Menards.
