Hey Anthony! Welcome to the real estate journey! Love that you're diving into the wisdom of Kiyosaki and the Bigger Pockets community. Those books are gold mines. Dallas is a great spot for investing. 

My two cents: connect with local investors, attend meetups if you can, and soak up their experiences. Real stories beat theory any day. Best of luck with your savings goal and snagging that first property by year-end.

Commence my go-to speech. 

In my opinion, the biggest mistake first-timers make is not that they buy the wrong thing; it's that they take too long too buy. There's a lot to learn, but so much of it can be learned better by doing than by thinking about it. 

I'm not saying don't research. But then find an investment model that feels comfortable (house-hacking is the quickest way to amass properties), find an agent that knows that model, look at homes, run numbers and pull the trigger.

The quicker you buy the first one, the quicker you can buy the second and third and onward. Good luck!

Congrats on choosing your path forward! Have you determined what exit strategy works best for your goals? I'd start there and then develop  relationships with lenders that specialize in that space.

@Anthony Wilhite, Kiyosaki is great for understanding financial literacy and theory. For more real estate focused methods and practical advice, add to your list, "Set For Life" by Scott Trench and "The House Hacking Strategy" by Craig Curelop. Good luck! 

Hey Anthony,

Congrats on deciding to take action. I'd be happy to connect to discuss your business plan. The best advice for you would be to prioritize networking and getting yourself into as many relevant circles as possible. Make every moment count, and when the opportunity arises, don't hesitate to invest in accelerating your progress. 

Hi Anthony, 

Congratulations!! You are taking a monumental step towards a really fun and rewarding future. 

"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" is what started it all for me. After I read that book, I couldn't go back to a typical life. It opened the door to a world of possibility for me. 

You are doing all the right things -- immersing yourself into this world with reading, podcasts, and social media -- and BP! 

This community is great and super supportive! Feel free to connect with me, and if you have any questions or need someone to run something by, I am all ears! Good luck!
