I am trying to soak in as much information and advise as possible while working my full time job running a doctor's office, so any tips and information thrown my way would be very much appreciated.  

This is a great place for soaking up lots of knowledge and asking questions.

I thought that was pretty good until I see what other people are doing on here :)  I'm just trying to soak in as much as I can from the forums and listen to at least 1 podcast a day while i'm driving. 

We haven't heard back from them after we planted the seed to negotiate a lease break 5 days ago.

The local REIA groups around me meet on the day I have my class so as soon as that is over I will be attending the monthly meetings trying to soak up every possible tip I can get my hands on.

I'm soaking all the info up like a sponge and my wife is in to it also.

Aside from simple diversification, I'm excited about the other positives about the RE asset class specifically, and I'm just soaking up information, looking to learn and network with people in general here on BP and specifically here in the SD market.

Jump right in and soak it up.

I was recently at a meeting where the speaker stated that many investors made their seed money in other ventures such as owning restaurants, a professional career such as CPA, etc.

Essentially I'm trying to save to buy the first place and then use the investment to seed the other purchases.
