Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Justin Stetson and I currently aside in Bradenton Florida. I currently go to college for my Network System Technology degree. I served in the military for 6 years. I'm here to learn and network. Not sure where to start to I figure this is one way to get started as I watch the Bigger Pockets on YouTube or listen to their podcast. Anyways, nice to meet you all and look forward to networking/learning from you.

Hey @Justin Stetson
welcome to Bigger Pockets! You’ll find that this forum and the people who frequent it will be a never ending source of info. 

to speak to your question of where to begin, depends on where you want to go. 

Do you want to be financially free? How much will that cost? Do you just want a nice side income? 

And from there or breaks down. How hands on do you want to be? You can be completely hands off and do a REIT or give your money to an investor. You can do a LTR and have a lot more freedom. Or do STR and get more money but more work.

I think you need to find out where you want to go, and then from there listen to the Podcast to find out if anything you hear on there talks to you. Remember, there really is no “wrong path” here, it’s just what you want to do and the goals you have. Good luck!
