Hi BiggerPockets!

I am preparing to buy my first Multi-Family Property in the Tampa Bay area. Before then, I would like to fill myself with as much actionable Wisdom and Knowledge as possible. That being said I present to you all My Real-Estate Knowledge Foundation.

My Short Term Plan is to amass a real estate portfolio of 30-Units In 5 years(24 years old now, 30 by 30).
Through Multi-Family Investments(4 Units), and Small Apartment Complexes.
That being said, can you all provide feedback regarding the "completeness" of my Knowledge Base?
Are the books that I have a good starting point?
What other topics & books should I encompass in my studies?

Also, I do plan to enter an apprenticeship with my current landlord, as well attend Real Estate Meet Ups in my area. I just want to be prepared as possible.

Thanks BP!
