Newbie from the Denver area

[Eric Melin]

Hello all! My name is Eric and I'm an airline pilot from the Denver area. I'm brand new to real estate investing and just starting out in the research/education process.

I was inspired to look into real estate as it's a very popular side gig in my line of work. I feel like this is something I could eventually do well with but I understand I have a lot to learn.

Having stumbled across this site is the best resource I could have hoped for! The Any tips and suggestions are welcome. What would you do if you were in my shoes, just starting out?
