I have 3 deals going now. one single family 4br 2 bath in a good school district that doesn't need a lot of work. would be great for a fix. how do i proceed?

The bigger I grow, the more I travel.I just graduated from San Francisco State University in Spring 2020 with my Bachelor's Degree in Communications & Marketing.I never wanted to work a 9-5 job, and have successfully made money without one for the past 5 years.Recently, I have been reading a lot about investing into real-estate because it's something I know I want to do.I started by reading the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, which inspired me to read the book "How to Invest in Real Estate" by Brandon Turner and Joshua Dorkin, and now I am on my third book "Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat" by David Greene.
