I have somewhat of a game plan and outline of what I'm wanting to do.

Im new to the real estate game out here myself and went on meetup.com to attend events related to real estate investing.

And of course were you live is the mother of all appreciation plays.. :)

This is a numbers game. 

Maybe you can chalk it up to us not being 20 years in the game, but if we feel like you aren't "hearing us" we stop talking.Hope you find this helpful.

Until an 'investor' reaches critical mass (escape velocity) in number of units turning enough profit that even the occasional catastrophe won't  change their life style, it's got to be keep your head in the game and all hands on deck.It's all fun until it's not.  

I want to just get in the game as i have read so many books and am ready for action.

Now I'm not referring to trying to time the market because very few, if anyone can do that but just learning the value of staying patient as my goals are to buy and hold rental properties.Overall, my new game plan is to continue to learn and practice running analysis on properties and to work my but off at my job to have enough cash for when the market does cool off a bit to purchase 1-2 properties.

Midwest City is a solid area, but it may be hard to find a lot of deals there due to the number of investors playing in that sandbox.

Like a video game system and a bunch of games?
