Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Brett Mascaro. 

Have you checked out our Podcast yet? Our blog covers just about every aspect of real estate investing, and is updated several times per day.

One of the best ways to keep up with what you are interested in is to set up keyword alerts. Keep at least one for your local area, to help network with local investors.

Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Maranda H. (I used to be the biggest Martin Gramatica fan...)

There is so much to learn here on BiggerPockets. Check out our top-rated Podcast, perfect for listening to while driving or rehabbing houses. And our blog covers just about every aspect of real estate investing you can think of.

@Leah Bonner, welcome to BiggerPockets.

The local REI club is a great place to start networking with local investors. BiggerPockets has unofficial meetups in most areas, so do a search on the site to find one near you. I just went to one last night and it is so inspiring to be around like-minded people. In my real life, most of my friends know I "do real estate" but they don't have any interest in talking about it, brainstorming ideas, etc.

Unfortunately, you will find that people misrepresent the truth. Not everyone is outright lying - some just don't know the whole story. Look at that - you learned a lesson without losing any money. ALWAYS PUT EYEBALLS ON THE HOUSE!!!

Lots of people buy sight-unseen, but I don't do that. I want to know what I am getting in to.

Good luck. I'm looking forward to hearing all about your first deal!

You're in the right place to learn.

I would love to see pictures and hear the story of the 1925 Mansion restoration.
