My kids are grown, out of college and I was ready to start a 2nd career (2nd career after getting 4 kids through college; 2 out of grad school, 1 into law school and another who incidentally has the best job through undergrad). 

I was born and raised in the outskirts of Atlanta, and then proceeded to pursue a college football career at Georgia Southern University.

Additionally, I am looking to transition my career into something more RE oriented, as I am currently a project manager in a media company, and have been in Managerial/HR positions for the past 8+ years in non-RE fields.

Congrats on your recent career change as well. 

During your learning career, what are some tips and tricks you've picked up that you don't think are mainstream?

Unfortunately in the midwest and southern states my current career doesn't pay the same in comparison to median wages in the parts of the country we are looking to move to.That being said im using this information and situation as a catalyst to finally get serious about real estate.

I am a brand new agent and my background is cash flow e-commerce sales(which means high volume with max %1 profit sales;) I passed my test and got my license and  I am starting my Real Estate career and I really would love to learn everything about real estate investing.

How would you begin your real estate investing career? 

Feel free to reach out at any time and best of luck in your real estate career. 

Now that i am out of the military working in a new W2 career, i am trying to get back into the RE investing and actually understand how to invest more appropriately and correctly compared to just purchasing houses that i would like to live in...Currently i have about 80k saved up for my next investment deal and just feel like im coming up short on anything even coming close to 1% rule, so to see if there are ways to invest it, i figured i would ask the public how they would go about investing the money, because i am always up for learning something new.If possible, could you throw a quick example or maybe a short answered deal you could possibly go buy today in your own market to get an idea...I am currently searching up to 2hrs from the Tampa, FL area.
