Hello, Just starting out and have a few questions about real estate investing

[Corbyn R Tower]

A little about me, I currently live in Meridian, ID. I'm 25 Years old. I started by listening to rich dad poor dad books. I've bought every book from Robert Kiyosaki 2 years ago and recently found Ken McElroy about a year ago. By this time, I became so hungry for learning real estate investing. I feel like I've none stop taken information in from as many resources I could find about real estate. It's been a new found passion. My dad taught me decent financials growing up and I'm the only one in my family who hasn't made a financially poor decision(some sort of bad debt or bankruptcy.) I have a stable job, with a place to live and a way to get to work. My dad made what I thought was good money $35 hourly throughout his entire career, and what inspired my journey is learning that my dads really good stable job no longer supported him through his new illness. This has been unsettling and learning this has hit me deep. It has become my main motivator for learning so much about real estate investing the last 1-2 years.

Where I'm at now is I feel like I'm missing out on other stuff I could be doing to achieve my goals. I currently started an LLC and moved some savings over, and now i am currently funding it from my full time job and side gigs but I have some questions. I've considered dropping everything that I'm doing and starting fresh in a new job that will help me learn more. The goal is to achieve a enough money to become full time REI and continue to buy properties in the north west for long term renting.

1. Am I missing out on other steps or opportunities that could help me achieve my real estate goals?
2. Should I be in a different profession or learning directly from a mentor?
3. Is what I’m currently doing; funding my LLC through my full-time job and side gigs the right approach?
4. Is there any recommended material I can absorb to help me achieve my goals?

I appreciate your time and any advice. thank you
