Late start Okie eager to learn, connect and start investing!

[Samantha Hogue]

Hi folks! I'm brand new to BP and RE investing, and I'm excited to start this journey and learn as much as the old grey matter will absorb. I am still reading through the awesome getting started guides on BP and working out what my strategy is going to be and where my market should be. I am all ears if anyone has any wisdom to impart to a newbie.

So, I recently launched an LLC and I am working on getting it certified as a Woman Owned business; not sure if that will help in any way, but I figure it can't hurt. My plan is to use the LLC to acquire properties and to be the employer for the property manager when I actually acquire some walls and a roof besides my own personal home. Beyond that, I don't know what else to do other than read all I can on BP, attend some meetups and start researching properties. I am still employed full-time, but I work from home so I have more time than most still stuck in the rat race, so I'm hoping to have a plan and a strategy by the end of 2024.

A little about me:  I love camping (well, Glamping if I'm being honest - we camp in a Northern Lite RV), mountain biking (which I'm not very good at but I love the challenge), and Star Trek in all it's various iterations.  I also love learning, so if anyone has any resources they'd like to list, link or just mention - I'd love to hear about them. I've wasted decades being an employee, and I'm ready to get out of the rat race and start investing to provide homes, jobs and communities!
