Hello my name is Frank. I am as new to this as it gets. This is my very first post. I have a wife who is a stay at home mom and two young children. I am the sole provider working full time as a union carpenter. I have absolutely no REI experience. Wanting something better I read "rich dad,poor dad" like over night simply because I could not put it down and am now digging in to "set for life" once again finding it hard to put it down. Needles to say I was raised on the poor dad mentality like so many. Right down to believing my single family residence with a 30 year mortgage was my biggest asset. I now have a different view. With that being said I am eager to learn about possibly flipping houses but more about BRRRR. Still have no idea of the best way to get started but I believe this is the first step. I participated in Thursday's webinar and one point made was to take action. I'm trying to take as much action as possible with out getting in over my head because of lack of knowledge. So,once again, this is my first step. Sorry if this post was a little long. I have much more to say and many questions but that will all be in future post. If you made it this far, thanks for reading.

Thanks in advance for any info or advice.
