Newbie from Caldwell Idaho

[Matthew Foster]

Hello Bigger Pockets,

My name is Matt Foster, I'm a 27 year old home owner from Caldwell ID (~30 min west of Boise). I'm looking to start investing in small multifamily properties (2-4 unites) in the Treasure Valley with a buy-and-hold strategy to generate cash flow income. The ultimate goal is to quit my job treating alfalfa seed for a large chemical company and focus on real estate full time. 

I've read the beginners guide (lots of great info) and am working my way through the pod cast and various articles on the BP site.

One aspect I need a little more education on is financing. I know there is a lot of good info out there, including "creative financing" that I look forward to learning more about. If anyone had any suggestions for books or articles on the subject, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, and I look forward to being part of the community.
