Hello everyone!

My name is Aaron and I currently work for a large IT company in sales.  I was born and mostly raised in Oklahoma.  I am currently renting a duplex in the Plaza Gatewood area of central OKC. 

A friend recommended this website to me last week and so I decided to join and start doing some research into building wealth through real estate investing.  I am mostly interested in owning rental properties for cash flow.  I have only been researching this subject for about a week so I would love any advice that the experienced investors out there might have for a rookie.

Hi @Aaron Anthony, 

Welcome to BP. Glad to have you on here. 

Advice for this site...

1) Set up keywords for your area and interests so that you're notified when they're used and then start interacting. 

2) Read through The Ultimate Beginner's Guide

3) Go through applicable blogs and podcasts as there are a lot of great resources

Advice for REI...

1) Study up on what you need to know/do for the 1st step and then do it, then repeat for all following steps until you have completed your first investment then repeat process and keep learning. (this will help keep you from getting distracted or overwhelmed)

2) Attend look meetups in your area (look here and here) and start connecting with investors. 

Just some thoughts. All the best!
