I just backpacked the entire 2700 mile the Pacific Crest Trail and and had a revelation.  I'm tired of working paycheck to paycheck as a 37 year old chef.  Yesterday in our local newspaper the front cover headline caught my attention "CRISIS IN THE RENTAL MARKET"  the article talks about the local rental vacancy rate being at 2.4% where the national average is 6.8%.  I know nothing about real estate but I have a small inheritance and I'd like to learn how to make it grow.  As I was finishing the PCT I heard a DP podcast where a guy made money investing in multi-family homes and recommended the book "secrets of a millionaire mindset."  I read it and it changed my way of thinking.  That was my Eureka moment, going from being a few thousand in debt to having enough to put down on a house I realized I needed to change my whole way of thinking and spending.  I am 100% dedicated to learning about real estate and how to make my money grow.  I would like to get as much information on rel estate as quickly as possible and would love to buy my first house this year.  But right now I have very little to no knowledge in the subject of real estate except that I'm in a great place to give it a shot.  I am excited to be a new member of such an awesome community.
