Already a homeowner...so how do I start buying properties?

Hi BP nation!

My name is April from Cleveland, Ohio and I have had a passion for real estate investing for years. Now 34, it's time to get started and I am so happy I found you all! I am in the learning stages, but so excited to get my hands on my first deal. So, I am learning patience:-)

I guess the unsolved mystery for me is buying my first investment property as a current homeowner. I see many posts about living in your investment for a couple of years, then renting it out, but I didn't do this. My home is purely residential for my family to grow into. I have no plans to sell anytime soon.

Needless to say that with a mortgage and other expenses, saving is super tough. I mean, is it even possible to start buying properties at this point? What should be my first step since I already own a home. Ugh, any ideas and thoughts are super appreciated.

Looking forward to learning from you all!

Thanks:-)
