New (soon to be) Investor from Abilene, Texas

Hello Bigger Pockets members!
My name is Kyle, I am an aspiring Investor currently living in Abilene, Texas. I am Active Duty USAF, and married with no kids. My wife is a Dental Hygienist & we are both excited to work together on our REI journey. I recently read what seems to be the spark to nearly every investor's career, Rich Dad Poor Dad. The book blew my mind, I grew up not knowing any of the fundamentals of what "Rich Dad" was teaching, and since I read that (in June) I've been doing everything in my power to grow and learn more so I can get started and change my life!

I've got probably 10-15 BP Podcasts under my belt, plus a few other REI podcats; I've read 2 BP published books so far, working on #3 right now. Thus far these are the intro level books, next up on the list is the BRRRR book, and How to estimate rehab costs. I've also invested some money into Ben Leybovich's Cash Flow Freedom University, it was modestly priced in comparison to the guru classes I've seen, and so far (nearly 1/2 way through) it has been very informative. I have run some mock numbers on my own on properties near me for practice, I've researched some meetups, my next step after I finish those 2 previously mentioned books, is to start networking, hopefully learning from others and then get started with my own deals. I've been hanging out on BP lurking for a few weeks, figure its time to get my hands dirty and introduce myself!

I am interested in BRRRR/Fix & Flips starting out, I don't think I have a whole lot of other options with only some capital to bring to the table, and zero experience. Near term (2-3 years) I'd like to move into multi-family housing, as well as RV/Mobile Home parks & self storage. I'm sure these niches will change for me in time as I learn more, but that is the plan for now.

I am eager to connect with others in Texas, Abilene is a pretty small town, but I don't mind driving to DFW/Austin or other areas to meet people and connect. I'd love to meet a Flipper near me and contribute some time to learn how the process is done. 

Thanks for reading, Cheers!
