Fresh meat! New here and ready to learn

[Andrew Vincent]

I have posted a few times before this on just some general questions, but I figured I should do an introductory post as well! My name is Andrew Vincent and I'm from Michigan and looking for investments here and possibly out of state STR. I'm a beginner when it comes to real estate investing. I've been listening to the "Bigger Pockets Podcast" for about two or three years now and the "Rookie Real Estate podcast" for a year. I Have gotten myself in to a more stable position that I will be able to start my investing career relatively soon so I wanted to get active here on the forums and website to really learn from the community.

I have done the research on what investing I want to do and I've read some of the main books that are "must reads" for any real estate investors. "Rich Dad Poor Dad" being one of them as well as one of Josh and Brandon's books about real estate investing. I'm open to suggestions on some good reads even if they aren't necessarily real estate oriented. As I'm currently reading "Think and Grow Rich". 

I am working on getting my real estate license in Michigan to add to my income while I get my investing off the ground. I will for sure be letting you all know when I finish that. I'm looking to connect with investors form all over so I can really get a good grasp on what I'm doing. I can't wait to chat with you all and look forward to connecting.
