Post: Where or what strategy to invest my time when starting out??

My ultimate goal is to buy and hold multi-family apartment complexes. With that, said I want to know about every aspect in real estate investing. With no experience and little knowledge in real estate, is there a strategy I should consider just to get the ball rolling and collect knowledge? I live in Illinois, if that factors into any decision on what my initial strategy should be. 

Thanks,David

I'm from central illinois and looking for any events/gatherings to attend. I'm brand new in my journey to build something great. I'm lacking a network and relationships with like-minded people. Communities like these are terrific, but I feel getting out and actually meeting and getting to talk to other passionate people in real estate would help immensely. If not an event, what else could I do to reach out locally to start building these relationships? Thanks for any information you provide!

Matt, thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Your advice makes a lot of sense. I believe networking is key for me right now.

Well, I'm just hung up on where to start. I don't have a lot of capital, maybe 10k. I'm hung up on what to do to start getting this thing rolling.

My name is David. I'm new at real estate. When I say new, I mean newborn baby new. However, I am not lacking the desire, passion, focus, or dedication to be GREAT. I currently work as a truck driver. I try to learn as much as I can when I can. I've been reading/listening to books, listening/watching podcasts, and have attended a few free webinars. Those things are only going to get me so far. I learn far more by doing things hands on and talking to people. I love the idea of bigger pockets. It's all about helping people. Just so happens that I'm looking for help.

Thanks, David
