Quit My Job now what

So yesterday I put in my two weeks. Now what? I don't want to have to find another job, I made a promise to myself that after I left my current job I would not go to another 9to5 and I would not go work for someone else. How do I keep this promise to myself? I am 25 a single dad to two kids; I had a pretty decent paying job 25$hr I am a disabled vet, so I receive monthly compensation for that.  I moved back in with my parents after the divorce, so I don't have a mortgage. I can get by for about 6-7 months on savings without the need for other revenue, but at that point, I'm going to need some income. To be able to be "financially free" I need at least 2500$ a month. I have been actively involved in trying to get into real estate investing for a year now. I have read about ten books I've put in about 40 offers and sent out about 3000 DM flyers. I tried SEO for a while but soon learned I was wasting my money unless I had thousands to spend a month. Gerry Keller in the One thing explains by only having one thing and how success will not come unless you are only all involved in one thing. Well, I decided that would be flipping houses, but I'm starting to think that in order to not have to get another job im going to need to get some rentals and definitely get into multi-family investing. I made a promise to myself that I intend to keep I have been working my *** off in the last year meeting people going to meetups passing out flyers looking at properties and pieces are starting to come together, but I'm looking for suggestions on how to get more deals in my market. What are you doing in your market that's working so well and what's not working? None of this is me bragging; there is nothing to brag about I just want to give a little idea of how much I have done and that it's not something I'm just going to walk away from. I just need a little advice maybe share a little bit of your story or if you think I'm doing something wrong. Because I still don't have one deal and I need one. I want to be financially free in the next 7 months and with your help, I know it is possible.
