Super excited new real estate investor looking for ideas

[Adekunle Akande]

Gooooood morning BP nation,

I am very excited to be part of this awesome community and I can't wait to link up with you guys.  I am active duty military stationed on Dyess AFB, TX, 21 yrs old, just purchased my first single-family last month.  It seems like much like everybody else, as soon as I read rich dad, poor dad, I caught the real estate investing bug and I am hyped to keep going.  My goal for 2018 going into 2019 is to supplement my income.  I want to acquire at least 8 to 10 this year going onto the next year, I want to dabble in a little bit of everything like flipping, wholesaling, rental and buy and hold.  I am trying to read every book i can get my hands on every day, even during my lunch break, i'm energized.  Now that i have one under my belt, i know i can keep going, but i need some guidance.   

Bottoline:

I am ecstatic about real estate investing and looking for guidance and mentorship to get my second deal and how to continue this journey

Thank you

Talk to you soon!

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
