How did you first get into the position to invest?
I’m a dad with a non-working wife and a son. Not much more to add.
I’m working as an SEO and another job, and I want to become an investor.
How did you get started with investing?

I worked 60 hours a week and lived at home til I was almost 25. Sacrificed luxury items, and every cent from tax returns and side jobs went into savings. Still to this day, I'm very caution on wasteful spending, I save a lot from my current job at a defense contractor because I want to go full time investing...feel free to ask anything through a PM if you'd like, I'm on my 2nd multi house hack, and have ventured into finding off market deals and flips as well.
