Want to get started in Kitsap County, WA

[Anna S.]

Hi Everyone. I am Anna Stocker and I am totally a newbie in real estate investing but very interested in learning on how to do it properly from experienced real estate investors as well as to start to have a network of all kinds of people involved in it. I started reading a book about it and watching webinars. I want to do it with my husband and we both work full time but still living paycheck to paycheck. So we just want to have a  better life and able to retire soon with enough finances as well as able to pay off debts and house mortgage, and able to help our families, friends and other people. Honestly we don't have money to start with and cannot afford to pay a mentor/coach so any help to get us started will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot and God bless.
