Looking to enter real estate investing.

Hello everyone!

Let me start off by telling you a little bit about myself; My name is Brett, I am a husband and father of a 19 month old and I live in Covington, Washington, not far from Seattle. I've finally convinced my wife that we should pursue my/our dream of becoming a landlord/real estate investor. We currently own a home in Covington so we are based out of this area, and I work in Snoqualmie. 

I'm posting here today because I am looking for resources and information that would help get us started. We've been reading books and plan to read more such as Rich Dad / Poor Dad along with watching videos to get more information. So as of know I feel like we are heading in the right direction. I've also worked as a demolition coordinator for fire and water damage, so I have limited knowledge in these areas but minimal on the construction side. 

I know that many people in this field are very busy, and managing time is a resource in it's own right. I suppose what I am trying to do is find someone that I could volunteer my time to. Wither it be helping you fix up a house to flip, or look for properties to purchase to rent, or fixing up properties to rent.

In exchange for letting me shadow and learn from you, I will offer my time for free, volunteering to assist you with whatever needs you may that are reasonable and within my skill set. 

I have a Bachelor's in Project Management and Administration, along with an Associates in Criminal Justice. I manage my grandfather's estate essentially as a paralegal, I am currently a Security Supervisor at a Tribal Casino assisting with legal operations and administrative operations, I've been a general manager of a business before, and have served as a project coordinator in both automotive and demolition fields. 

I understand that my lack of knowledge and experience in these fields could be a burden to someone working on real estate full time, but I would be greatly appreciative of anyone who would be willing to assist me by mentoring me in exchange for me volunteering. I am very friendly, approachable and people orientated. 

Thank you once again, and I look forward to hearing from everyone and even hearing advice if applicable. Thanks once again, and have a wonderful weekend!!
