New Minnesota Investor Looking for Advice (Introduction)

[Chad Maschke]

Good afternoon everyone.  Looking at branching out into Real Estate investing and looking for any and all advice.  I am currently selling my house and have a fair amount of equity that will be remaining after purchasing our next house.  Trying to find the best way to invest the equity.  I'm learning all that I can and just wanted to start a dialog.  The beginner's guide is very informative.  Does anyone have a good list of starter advice?  Thanks to everyone and it looks like a great place to learn and start.  I hope everyone has a great day and thanks for reading.
