Learning while saving for first investment (Jacksonville Florida)

I am reading book after book to soak up as much as I can while I build the capital required for my first purchase. I have a partner with more disposable income than myself but she lacks the drive to become financially independent. I want to prepare a business plan and sample analysis to give her peace of mind and a boost in confidence. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this would be great! I am excited to learn more through this community!!

    There's a lot of ways to get started in real estate without having any capital @Garrett Masiulis. I'd start by reading @Brandon Turner 's "The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (or Low) Money Down" if you haven't already. 

    I'm also a private / hard money lender in the Jacksonville area. I'm always happy to connect and explain how the private / hard money world works and what you can expect. 

    You'll likely need to get your partner as excited to be financially independent as you are for this to work. Offer them $100 to read the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" - I can almost guarantee this will work. 

    Good Luck!
