@Jacob Baldensperger congrats on owning the 6 unit! I'm an investor out of Washington DC and am not familiar with Erie, PA. I however am also 24 years old and am also trying to prepare as best as possible for a great life with my fiancé.
I have experience in Multifamily Real Estate and would love to be a resource to you! While I was lucky enough to receive a formal education through the CFA program as well as an undergraduate degree in Finance and Investments, most of my post-grad learning has come through putting myself in challenging situations surrounded by experienced professionals with far more knowledgable than myself. These situations have forced me to learn the business.
Additionally I listen to a number of great podcasts on a consistent basis (including Bigger Pockets) on my way to and from work everyday as well as in the gym. They are listed below.
1. Old Capital Real Estate Investing
2. Real Estate Investing For Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp
3. Jake and Gino Wheelbarrow Pockets
4. We Study Billionaires
5. Invest Like the Best
6. Bloomberg - Masters In Business
7. How I Built This with Guy Raz
These have been instrumental in my learning and growth over the last few years. Knowledge with action is power!
