New, lost, but excitied to start

[Matthew Gallacher]

Hey guys,
So I'm entirely new to real estate investing but I'm really excitied to start in 2016. I've been reading just about every article I can get my hands on here on BP and I was wondering if you guys would have any advice for me to start out. My area of focus is Kansas since I'll be attending college in Salina and I've done a little research on different areas and it seems Overland Park/Johnson county might be a good begining area. My plan was to flip a home or two using my VA loan during my summer breaks and then use that money to put down on either a single family, condo, or multi-family home for a consistent cash flow to build up during my school year where I'll be busy. Then let summer come back around and rinse and repeat. I havent put any numbers down cause I would like to see if even the basic idea I have is worth going for or if I'm missing key elements. Anyways, thanks for your time guys and looking forward to seeing what you guys think.
