New member from Tyler Texas

[Victor Pilgrim]

I recently joined and decided I should introduce myself. I disobeyed this site through a podcast I was listening to on Spotify. I am from the Tyler Texas area and I am looking to get into real estate. I currently have a full time job working for a very large corporation. Short term I would like to get my real estate license and also purchase my first property to rent. I purchased my first house in March of last year. The process of buying and doing some remodeling peeked my interest. I do plan to live in this house for a while. I need some guidance on purchasing my first investment property. I do have money for a downpayment, but outside of that I am pretty lost on where to begin.
