Is there anything should be doing at the moment?

[Adam Lysak]

Hey everybody!

So, some quick background info. My name is Adam, I am currently in my 3rd year of Dental School. While I am totally new to real estate investing, I have always been interested in real estate. At this point in my career, I can make the time to get started.

Starting this year, I've been reading books on real estate including "The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing" "Investing in Real Estate with no (and low) Money Down" and "The Book on Rental Properties". I've also been reading a variety of blogs on biggerpockets and I will be going to my first REI meet up this weekend.

I would really appreciate it if I could get someones advice on anything else that I can/should be doing in order to be "adequately" prepared and educated to make my first deal?

Also, fun question, if you could go back in time and advise yourself when you were just starting out in Real Estate Investing, what would you say?

Thank you!
