Newbie needs advice!

Hey BP! I'm 26, non grad degree in business law. I'm currently working on my RE license in Texas, I'm listening to podcasts, reading REI forums and books. My current landlord is in REI herself and I'm scheduled next week to help her out with a rehab. I am in the processes of disputing some things and paying off others on my credit, I know I will NEED it when it comes to Investing. I'm looking for any advice on getting started, maybe there's more I can do to better prepare myself? I've seen many people on here advising young newbies like myself to first start off with house hacking, and I'm putting my focus in that one area. Although, my husband is in the RV sales/repair business and I would love to collaborate with him and do an RV resort to expand his business, I also figure with his client base and marketing it would be "easy" to fill the rental spaces? I would love to pick someone's brain, maybe tell me some of your experiences with house hacking (or anything else) so I can get a better feel of what I would be getting myself (and my husband) into. I am also VERY open in an internship? Maybe shadowing? I WILL WORK FOR FREE. I have a background in accounting, I am also a licensed tax preparer, I can help out a lot office-wise. I can renew my notary license. I know I will not become a "millionaire" over night, and I know that this will be very different than anything I'm used to but this has been a secret passion/interest of mine since young, I am ready to spend two years of my life, learning and selling real estate and fixing my credit and saving my OWN money before I can financially get involved. Thanks guys! Alex
