I would like to purchase my first rental property early next year and am on track to do that with my savings.The next 6 months or so I plan on spending the majority of my free time educating myself on the business and trying to minimize rookie mistakes that I might make.I am currently wrapping my head around cash flow and trying to get a strong grasp on the numbers and what I need to make them work.In the mean time any advice you (the greater community) can give me as a new investor would be greatly appreciated!
