I'm BRAND new and ready to go

Good evening BiggerPockets - I hope this post finds you doing well.

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to all of you.  My name is Brian Palmé. I am a full time high school science teacher and a part time real estate agent from a smaller, suburban town outside of Philadelphia, PA.  I have a beautiful family of a wife and two young boys.  My BIG WHY is my family and I want to give them the WORLD.  Thus my dive into real estate investing and BiggerPockets.

The horrible, ugly truth is that I have zero experience other than the books I have read (and continue to read) and a couple 3-day "courses" from the "dreaded" gurus.  I hardly have any working capital to play with as I feel I live paycheck to paycheck.  I am gaining confidence the more I listen to the podcasts while working out at the gym at 5:00 in the morning and reading books after grading and planning, but as many speakers have said - The real education happens when you have "skin in the game."  I am ready to get beat up, bruised, and battered as I get my feet wet and learn the crafts you all have become so great.  I just need direction.

I know that this is nothing specific and a very general (and probably cookie cutter) introduction - but trust me it is full of emotion and energy.  I am tired of the day-to-day drain and worry of money, and I am ready to grow and be all that I can be for my family.

I thank you for reading this and any sage words of advice, encouragement, direction would be greatly appreciated.
