Newbie but Super Hungry in Upstate NY

This absolutely, no matter what the cost of time and energy may be, will be what I do to provide for my family! My husband is our main provider and was injured last year. We were told by his doctor that he will not be able to continue in his line of work for much longer. My husband is a welder and a mechanical contractor. He loves what he does and he is excellent at it but within the next ten years he will not be able to continue with his line of work. 

How this all fits together is, I love real estate. I actually work for a broker and am working towards becoming an agent. I love finding deals, partnering with different people and meeting new people. My husband is great with all things construction. I think real estate investing would be perfect for us.

Why I'm writing this. We all start somewhere, so this is my start. I feel paralyzed by my lack of knowledge and experience but I am taking the first step and putting myself out there. I am reading and listening abut all things investing. I look at houses on the market, off the market, auctions every day. I love this and want this!
