Where do i start when i want to end up in real estate investing

[Thomas Rodgers]

I have recently been reading, listening, and learning a lot about different ways to earn financial freedom but I am just not sure where to start. I am only 23 with 2 kids and a girlfriend, we are currently renting and i am 23k in debt making about 60k a year as a single income family. I want to eventually own some form of rental properties but i know i need to get my personal financial life in order first. I have started going through bank statements and plan to set my budgets this month. I am wonder if anyone would have some guidance or advice that would help me on my way out of this rat race we call life.
