Newbie Investor in Tucson, AZ

[Jonathan McCullough]

Hey all, I'm a 21 year old airman in the Air National Guard. I have zero real estate experience if you don't include the internet research Ive done. My 'outside my comfort zone' efforts haven't gone past doing some minor investing with stocks and creating an affiliate website. I have always despised the idea of being stuck in the loop of the 9-5 full time job with no quality of life. Being financially free is everyone's dream but it seems hardly anyone acts on it. I'm trying to act on it for the sake of my future family and the freedom/comfort of financial stability/wealth. Being that I have no experience in real estate, I am open to any and all information thrown my way. Anyone in/know of anyone in the Tucson, AZ area please contact me! I look forward to interacting with lots of you!

The research you have done absolutely counts. This means you have been taking you education in REI seriously. Continue to do so, it will pay off. I also recommend picking up industry books and listening to podcasts, they help quite a bit as well. @Jonathan McCullough

 Thank you for the advice, I have been recommended a couple books. Any in particular you recommend?
