Hi everyone, I'm newer to BP but have been absorbing a lot of the podcasts and forums.

The past few weeks I have been simply trying to absorb the podcasts and different points of view on various areas of real estate to then figure out what might work for me in my area.

My boyfriend had hinted at how much know-how I had to learn before I could even be remotely successful, and haven taken some time to browse through the blogs, posts, forum on BiggerPockets i now know that there's a MOUNTAIN of knowledge I need to absorb.

Now that I've found my niche and my bread and butter investment, I no longer need to absorb new information because what I do is very specific to my area.  

I've absorbed a lot reading through the forums, articles, and blogs...but having a quick little reference that gives a very general overview of "Term X" would be great to have!

For instance if you have 600,000 cash and are loaning out 30,000 then that loan if it goes bad only represents 5% of you liquid cash versus if you have 60,000 you are wiping out 50% of your liquid cash if it goes bad.You should be fully protected regardless of the amount being loaned but percentage wise other investments could absorb the hit in a fairly small amount of time.I am having an issue with this person having completed a rehab before with this HML lender but has no proceeds to put into this deal from the profit of the last deal.

When HOA fees go up, I just increase the rent and the tenants absorb this.  

If you do decide to hire hourly workers to cut costs which will cut cost can you absorb the payroll, insurance, and other costs into the current business.

I'm brand new to BP and RE investing, and I'm excited to start this journey and learn as much as the old grey matter will absorb.

I'm looking to absorb as much as I can from y'all in hopes to get my family to financial freedom.
