Oklahoma here and ready to learn but ?????

[Ivette Armstrong]

Hello, 

My name is Ivy and i am in the process of educating myself on real estate investing and i am super excited about it. I have been soaking up information like a sponge and trying to learn as much as possible to find my way as most do when the light bulb comes on. I am sure like most after reading books and listening to podcasts etc. the question in my head is where to start and how can i fund my first deal i have some ideas but nothing in stone yet. I ran across Renatus from a local ad looking to network and meet local investors. I would like to know if any of you have heard of them and what your thoughts on this program for classes and instruction? Is this worth it? I guess i just want to know if it's worth it. I also did the Than Merrill three day seminar that was the first thing i did and how this all began but like a lot of people i don't have 50k just laying around to pay for something like that. 

I have learned a ton from bigger pockets as well which i love and i have been analyzing deals like crazy doing the running and learning my local markets which has been fun! I am super excited and getting my ducks in a row to pull the trigger on my first deal but i want to make sure i know enough and not going in blind i am willing to do whatever it takes to make this work. So any help on this is greatly appreciated and if anyone is from Oklahoma i would love to get to know people here doing this as well. Sorry for the long post but look forward to hearing back from folks :)
