Advice on next step

[Brandi T]

I decided 7 months ago that real estate investing was a good investment choice. Purchased the first buy/hold property in August that needed work - it became clear that because of the ARV that I should flip it instead of hold and use the profit to buy more property. The house is under contract - closing beginning of Feb.

Now, the problem. I am not sure what to do next! I feel very blessed that this flip went well but am feeling totally overwhelmed with information. I have thought about getting involved with a mentor so I can get advice on business plan, etc. but don't want to make a bad choice about education. I am the type of person that researches obsessively on my own (and this site is great!!) but I also would like to attend some live education events.

Any advice on how I should proceed? I want to build a business at warp speed since the market is ripe for investing but I don't want to make bad decisions. Any thoughts on education or mentors?

Thanks in advance!
