Been consuming lots of great information on this site. Still trying to decide if I have what it takes to be a real estate investor. Looking to create passive income as I transition from a military career.

Currently pursuing more knowledge and advice on all cash buy and hold strategies. Seems to be difficult to find as search results usually produce numerous results explaining that leveraging is the way to go. I understand the principles behind the math, but still prefer to follow this path.

I would appreciate links to forums, blogs, or books from investors who practice or promote strategies for REI with your own money without leveraging.

Thanks.

@Elizabeth S. I'm focusing my research on buy and hold strategies involving SFH or small MFH. I've been interested in real estate for a long time and even made a few offers before deciding I didn't want to be a long distance landlord. So I decided to wait until I've finished my time in the military and have been saving to get started with all cash purchases.

@Jaren Barnes Thanks for the links. I've consumed most of the getting started material available, but had not seen the file download page yet. Lots of great resources here.
