Unsure on exactly how to get started

Hello all,

Probably going to be a long winded post but bear with me. A little over a year ago I got fed up with my finances. My wife and I made decent money (about 70k take home) in a lpw cost of living area but were constantly close to 0 in our account. After finding Dave Ramsey and the Money Podcast and applying it we were able to save about 17k in one year.

In that time I became fascinated with the idea of freedom that real estate could provide. I don't necessarily hate but job but it doesn't really make me happy either. I currently work at a factory on nights doing a pitman schedule. My wife enjoys her job but would love to stay home and take care of our two kids. And I came to the realization a few days ago my inaction us stopping her from doing what she would love to do.

Which leads me to here. I live in east TN, in between the tri cities and Knoxville and would like to connect with some investors in this area and build some traction towards our goal of financial freedom. And I would like to repay the favors somehow.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
