Brand new to investing

[Brett Staples]

My name is brett, I'm 29 years old veteran. So to be direct I've saved 30 grand and my goal is pretty much to have 5 properties or as many is necessary to create a monthly positive passive income of about 3k. I've been looking for a few months for a property to invest in but I'm pretty lost how to create successful passive positive income. Any advice would be greatly appreciated on how to get started. Also I own a home with 50k left on mortgage and valued at about 140k idk if that matters. Thank you for your time and consideration.
