Hello,

I'm new to real estate investing. So new I don't even own any property at all. I'm currently reading "The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing" and "Getting the Money". After these I want to read Brandon Turner's book "The Book on Rental Property Investing". What I hope to accomplish one day is own about a dozen rental properties to supplement my current income. Once I gain experience I would like to branch out to other forms of investing.

I never thought of buying real estate before because I always felt that I needed to completely eliminate my debt. Is this true? How does one decide if they're financially ready to invest in real estate? Should my net worth determine this or something else?

Thank you,

Brian.
