Hello BiggerPockets,
I found the BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Investing in Real Estate on Amazon recently. I found the sight through the book and I have become addicted to the podcasts.
I jumped in to a duplex 5 years ago with absolutely no idea what I was doing, no investment education and no plan... Oops. I've got a day job that I love which has good earnings potential. I'm not trying to break the bonds of oppression through investing but rather looking to build security and retirement. My goals are to build long term and reinvest all cash flow. At this point, with what limited knowledge and understanding that I have, I want to invest in small multi-family with an end goal being around 25 rental units. Short term, I need to get educated and get my duplex on track. I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing so I'll probably be asking A LOT of questions.
Thanks,
Adam
