Hey everybody, my name is Zach, I'm an engineer at Bell Helicopter and am looking to get into real estate investing. My wife and I are interested in both being landlords and potentially flipping homes. My goal is to grow a monthly income source through rental properties so that my wife and I aren't dependent on our jobs. Would love to hear any tips for initially jumping into the real estate world and am looking forward to meeting those in this community!
