Excited Newbie from the Philadelphia, PA area

[Jason Unrath]

Hi everyone, My name is Jason. I live in the suburbs or Philadelphia, PA. I'm here because I like to learn. over the past few weeks, I've read Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "Cashflow Quadrant." These books have gotten me very interested in learning all I can about investing in real estate. I can't stop thinking about the dream of early retirement. I mean, I like my job, but it would be great to have to do it every day anymore. Mr. Kiyosaki talks a lot about how people fail to invest because they're afraid of failing. I fully understand that failure is a potent learning tool. However, I don't believe I'll learn anything by jumping in head first without knowing anything about what I'm doing. So, as I said, I'm here to learn. I'm here to network. I'm here to start working toward my dream. If anyone has some key lessons or advice they'd like to share, I'm all ears (or eyes. I don't know how to read with my ears.) Thanks, Jason
