New and a lot to learn. Advice appreciated.

[Christian Smith]

Hello! This place must be epic because I've been directed here from several different places! Looking forward to learning and growing here! 

I'm 31. Live in the Kansas City area. Make around 40k. Have around 7k in savings. I work in construction. I am an experienced drywall finisher. I'm mainly interested in getting into a flip or house hack and am working on saving and researching. 

 I've been researching like crazy. I'm going to be poking around this site and I'm sure there is a ton of information to be had but figured I'd introduce myself and open up an opportunity to be probed if anyone wants to ask/teach me anything. I'll keep an eye on this post!
