@Austin Richey Hey I to am just starting out in my REI career.The one thing i would say is to take the time to get a grasp on REI "Before" you deploy your first chunk of cash.

I just don't see an investor OK with that.Here are expense numbers:Taxes(Which I will go to county to lower values but this is where they are at now:$793.04 taxes$198 Insurance$500 Loan300 ManagementA deal this big (for me) I just want to make sure I have a firm grasp as what I am getting into.

Get a firm grasp on verbiage and calculating the standard formulas before a temping to make an offer on a property if it is a commercial deal (5+). 

I want to buy my 1st property before I turn 24, but intend to be an owner occupant for the next couple of properties after it when I a better grasp on where I will be location wise in the next year.I looked at what you posted Steve and I understand where you're coming from mission statement wise, but this style resonates with me a little more.Ned how should I name my objectives better?

I am having a hard time grasping this process because in theory I could just "wait it out" till I get the approval then just switch jobs?

I've got a small grasp on the basics and am ready to learn, learn, learn!

I honestly couldn't even grasp the idea at first.

Hey Jonathan, What you are saying sounds very interesting but I'm trying to grasp the full concept of this.

I'm grasping the ideas and feel this is something I could manage, but, Reading is one thing I'm a visual learner.

I'm still New( only 2 properties under me) and trying to grasp different ways in REI.
