How did you get into REI?
Mornin’ BP!
I started off bored on my computer one day and something told me to Google “What is investing?”, and it changed everything! That opened the door to the idea of entrepreneurship, investing in different asset classes, the choice of creating a different life than the traditional 9-5, the dynamic behind time VS $$$, and a completely new way of looking at the world! 😁 What about yourself? 🤔
I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!
-Kyle :)

I traded stocks before REI so I knew REI was the end goal but what really made me go all in was "The Book on Rental Property Investing" By Brandon Turner and the purple bible "Rich dad, Poor dad" by Robert K.
