Financial Advisor needed...

[Ryan Washington]

Hello, my name is Ryan Washington, I'm a 100% disabled Marine Corp Veteran looking to learn strategies on how to build long term wealth through planting seeds today. I recently graduated from Champions School of Real Estate in Fort Worth, Texas and now studying for my state exam. I feel like I'm on the right path so far but would like my plan to be reviewed by someone experienced. If anybody could offer any tips I would appreciate that so much.

@Ryan Washington Do you really need a financial planner to review your goals or are could your questions be answered by other investors via a meetup or mastermind group? The reason I ask is that there are many financial advisors that will naturally want to steer your investing towards investments that they know and understand best (stocks, bonds, ETF's or REIT's). This is not necessarily malicious just people tend to favor what they know best. From the path you are on, this advice could conflict with your goals.

My suggestion would be to find a local REI group (BP, meetup.com or Facebook) and start getting connected with local investors. This will build both your network and confidence.

Best of luck,

John
