Long story short, I get out of the Army in one year. As of about 3 months ago I have become quite literally obsessed with Real estate investing. I have read about 7 books all having to do with finance/real estate investing as well as listening to the bigger pockets podcast daily. I understand however, that as an excited "noob" I can be led to make quick and not thoroughly thought-out decisions on getting into the market. In order to go about this in a patient, methodical way I am going to focus purely on learning as much as I can before I jump in. If at some point in this year I feel I'm ready I will gladly jump in, but I'm in this for the long-run and hoping to one day be able to replace my earned income through a job with passive income from real-estate. My wife and I are expecting our first baby and I'm determined to give my daughter the life I never had. Anyone willing to invest their advice and/or mentorship will have all my gratitude/appreciation. Any advice on books to read, what areas to increase my knowledge in? Mistakes you may have learned from? or maybe just an affirmation or two?
