I am new to investing and interested in the same field.

Hi,I am new in this field.

I would think you would be best demonstrating what you have done in the field as a more or less self employed real estate entrepreneur.

Plus I don't need to start repaying them until I make 25k a year.I'm just worried because the jobs outside in the marketing field pay terribly with a salary of about 40k-70k which isn't much if I'm putting 50k towards a duplex or triplex every year because I have such an aggressive goal in my opinion.My family's income was at around 15k a year and I'm trying to be the first millionaire in my family and break the poverty cycle.Plus I'll need to save for a long time to get a 4plex, I can't get one around here for less than 600k.

We are anxious to learn all we can about the field, particularly in West Texas.

thank you I appreciate that now I might look into different fields and see what's best for me right now
