Newbie from OKC, Oklahoma

[Robert Aguilar]

Hello all been reading and listening to podcasts here at BP for about a month or so and finally decided to give an introduction.

I'm a 23yo from OKC, Oklahoma and have made a decision to pursue FI through but not limited to real estate. Right now I'm about to resign my lease and have decided to really dwelve into education for the next few months! Only debt I have right now is student and a car loan. I should be able to finish paying off the car loan in a year and it's also the reason I'm waiting another year to purchase my first property. 

So far I've read a few books which includes the famous "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "Set for life." I'm now looking for more recommendations. 

I do have a full time job with a median salary. If I do not pick up any overtime, I should have 4 days a week off. I want to hear some suggestions on how I can use my time more wisely. I can always pick up another part time close to my field but I was thinking of one that's more related to real estate. (i.e. Real Estate, Property Manager, etc.) 

Thanks in advance and glad to be part of this community!

Welcome, Robert! I am also pretty new to the OKC market myself having moved here within the last year from Denver, CO. My wife and I bought and fixed up a foreclosure here for ourselves to live in using the house hacking principles @Alyssa Dyer @Kiera Underwood and @Cassi Justiz mentioned. They're right. It's a great way to use your daily living to help build your assets. Best of luck to you going forward!
