New To RE Investing - Where can I start?

[Brandon Corrales]

Cheers! My name is Brandon Corrales and I'm an Air Force veteran transitioning into the Air National Guard (doing the part-time gig while I figure out what I want to do when I grow up). I'll be a full-time college student whilst working full-time. Like all of you, I dream of attaining "financial freedom" and after doing research on the many different investment paths, I have been convinced that RE investing is the best option. I have NO prior RE or investing experience but both seem like something I could see myself absolutely enjoying. Furthermore, I've developed a strategy to save enough cash to get started on investing; only thing is I dont know where to go from there! My strategy is basically to save enough cash flow in the next 3 years to get my foot in the door (between $18K - $30K). After this I am totally in the dark! Please provide feedback and let me know if, #1 this is enough capital to get started from scratch, and #2 what do/can I do from here? Thank you!
