@Stephen Keighery Thanks so much for your comment. I super appreciate it. 

@Tyler Gibson Fantastic, thank you. 

Hey Jacqueline,

I actually just finished a reply on the same topic. Here is the copy/paste. I hope you like it. 

I started off reading "the book on investing in real estate with no money down" by Brandon Turner. That covers pretty much all the real estate niches. This is my absolute "must-read".

If you like flipping then J Scott has 2 cool books. "The book on flipping houses" and "the book on estimating rehab costs"

For rental properties "the book on rental property investing" This is also from BiggerPockets publishing.

I am currently reading a booking on wholesaling by Todd Fleming "if you cant wholesale after this I've got nothing for you" So far it's a good read.

A good mind book is by Hal Elrod "the miracle morning".

Lastly, "the ABC's of real estate investing" by Ken McElrod. He walks you step by step on a commercial deal but a lot can be applied to residential.

That's one book I am reading now and a few good ones that have made a difference to me.

@Brynanh Sledge I used his YouTube videos lots at first. It doesn’t hurt to obtain the free knowledge. My golden rule is: if a big investor hasn’t interviewed on the BiggerPockets Podcast it could be for a reason. I bet anything he is selling is available here in this community for free.

@J Scott @Chelsea Barton

I was going to recommend the books by J Scott but I couldn’t believe to see you got the man himself recommend it. J Scott, sir, you’re amazing! Thank you for all your content.

Hi everyone, I just moved from Miami, Florida to the Orlando area (Davenport). 

I am a hospitality professional experienced in managing business operations such as teams, revenue, profits, OTA sites, Airbnb rentals, and so much more. 

In regards to real estate, I have gained as much book/audio/podcast/workshop knowledge humanly possible without actually getting started. I love the real estate industry and absolutely love the BiggerPockets community. I have spent the last 2 years educating myself in multiple real estate niches as a form of entertainment/hobby. At this time I believe I am ready as a professional to help sellers move on in life from their distressed property while building a network of amazing people. My goal is to launch my financial future for the legacy of my 2 baby girls.  

Anyone's advice is always welcomed and so much appreciated. If there are any meet-ups (virtually or in-person) known in the area please recommend.

My plan right now is to:

A: Networks as much as possible with wholesalers and investors. My keyword phrases for my areas are set.

B: Drive for dollars daily. The Deal Machine App seems wonderful.

C: Contact my attorney to draw up my purchase agreement and assignment contracts.

D: Reach out to as many well-reviewed contractors as possible to work with me for a percentage fee from my assignment fee. This is to have my bids attached with my purchase agreement while presenting my deal within my network. ( I realize the contractor stories out there, any recommendations?)

Please leave me a comment, recommendation, connection, vote, or a smile.

Most kindly,

Ramon Morales
