just starting out in real estate investing

[Timothy Martin]

I am freshly starting out in real estate investing. I've read a few books, went to a few seminars, and took the few first steps in starting up my business venture(business cards, 800 phone number, formed an llc, etc), and I want to start with passive income such as some rental property. However, I have newbie jitters becuase I don't want to set up my first deal wrong, or I don't want to scare off a potential deal for lack of experience, or lack of money. I was an over the road truck driver for over 8 years, and lost my ability to pass a dot physical due to damadge in my right eye, and now I'm sitting on a 500 dollar/month budget, and a lot of motivation to get/keep me going. I have learned a few things with educating myself, but I would love to continue being educated, and helped with as much advise and experience as possible throughout my years of real estate investing. Thanks in advance for helping me achieve that goal.
