I’ve educated myself with books like Rich Dad Poor Dad and real estate podcasts, and I know I’ll succeed.I’d love advice from others who’ve been in my shoes: Is it okay to start investing in a different area if one strategy isn’t working?

A prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

Keep diversifying your income with side hustles, and continue learning through books like "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller and "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki.By the time you're earning more, you'll be ready to dive into real estate, leveraging your higher income and knowledge to scale quickly.Let me know if you need advice on financing when you're ready!

In terms of what I learned from reading Rich Dad/Poor Dad a couple years, I think I land in the Poor Dad philosophy and I'm looking to break out of that a little, but also am risk-averse at my core. 

Hello, @Chris Rich! 

RE is a get rich slow game and there are increasing number of people talking about how difficult it is to retire from your day job even with large numbers of rentals because cash flow is thin.On the one hand there is the Small But Mighty portfolio mentality which I believe is a book in the BP store by Chad Carson.

Without getting myself into a get rich quick program, I thought asking all of you good people here your thoughts regarding financing, project planning and experience requirements. 

Clean, friendly, activity rich and lots of employment driving growth as far as I found. 

I'm rich!
