What's going on, Austin? I'm active duty Army in KY. Welcome! I am fairly new to this myself, but I can say that you should get plugged in to your local Real Estate Investment Associations (REIA), if you haven't already. That is probably the best place to meet key people and build relationships. There is a wealth of "free" knowledge and mentorship that can come out of those. Get to as many free and low cost networking events as possible. Lastly, for the sale of being too long with this response/welcome, educate yourself through various resources about what you want to do in RE, then work your tail off to make it happen. Feel free to hit me up anytime.
