[John Stuart]

Hello everyone, my name is John. I live with my wife in our own home and we both have full time jobs that take up a 12 hours of our day. Ideally, I would like to get into real estate investing (buying/renting multifamily, flipping). We have little experience other than purchasing our own home and helping someone else. We do not have a lot of money saved up but may be able to put up to $20k towards an investment to get off the ground. We are leaning towards a rental property for many reasons, but would like to learn where some of you successful people started and if you were in similar shoes as ours.

Nice meeting you, thank you in advance.
