Rookie investor seeking to learn the ropes
Hey all,
I'm brand new to the world of real estate investing and looking to learn the ropes. I work as a Firefighter full time in Richmond, Va and would love to supplement my income on my days off. Right now my focus is simply to learn all I can and connect with people who are immersed in this world. My wife and I bought our first house 4 years ago using the VA loan and I'd specifically like to learn how to finance a rental property using little or no money of my own. Thanks for reading and I look forward to the future in this new endeavor!

Thank you! I actually am attending my first meetup this Thursday. Are there any meetups that you would particularly recommend for someone like myself? Thanks again for the help!
