Newbie investor in the Bemidji mn area

[Brad Smith]

Hello bp community! So glad I'm about to take the next step to get involved in real estate. I have currently owned my home for the past 2 years and have been addicted to real estate ever since. After I purchased my first home I have searched and reviewed properties just for the love of home but never thought I would eventually want to become a investor. I'm 28 years old and I currently work in the oilfield in williston nd and I'm at the state of the job to where I wake up dreading to go to work everyday. Good money to be made there but looking to work smarter and not harder and to not have to leave my family for 2 weeks every 2 weeks. Anyways I plan on doing my first deal very soon just looking for the right property to make profit. I plan on flipping a few properties to be able to buy some rentals for cash and plan for my retirement before anything and go from there. Very motivated to get started and very happy to be a part of bigger pockets. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
