Newbie from Southwest Louisiana

[Steven DeHart]

Hello,

My name is Steven and I'm from Southwest Louisiana. I am just getting started in REI and really want to focus buying rental properties. As all of you can imagine, the questions that are running through my mind are never ending. Where do I start; how do I find the right properties; what to look out for; what outlets do you use to ensure you don't pay too much for a property; what strategies should people in their mid-40's use to maximize the probability of success and profitability; etc., etc., etc... Although I am outside of my comfort zone and feel like an absolute tool (I'm lost and that's uncomfortable), my faith, drive, and want to achieve my family and life goals continues to motivate me to get outside of my comfort zone and push for continuous improvement.
