Looking to hear someone’s local experience in starting out.

How’s everyone doing ?

I’m very new to this but I’m proud to say I am now an investor, I just haven’t invested in anything yet. I plan on taking a few years saving my money and learning as much as I can about real estate before I take the leap on my first property. I want to hear some stories on how other people got started and how easy/difficult it was. I am newly married and have a hefty mortgage myself, but I manage to save a decent amount of money realistically 10-15k a year I have been working as a construction worker as long as I have been working I am a mason by trade and even though moneys tight I know I will be a successful investor even in the current market. I just want to hear some insight from people who’ve actually done it.
