Don't listen to the negative thoughts in your head about your age, experience, shoe size, eye color, etc.....Just Do It!

Howdy JohnI just listened to podcast 109 and it deals with asset protection and forming LLCs.

Make sure to listen to the podcasts and you should join the local Ohio River REI Club that meets in Evansville/Newburg.

Go through the education tab along the top and read through all the guides, read through starting out in RE under blog topics, and start listening to all of the podcasts.That will give you a good foundation and show you that there are different niches of real estate, and you will begin to think about your goals, and what you want to get out of real estate and then you'll be well on your way to studying the exact strategy you want to pursue so you can get into real estate.Until you decide what investing strategy / niche you want to get into, you'll be lost in the real estate sauce for a while.For instance...

The Bigger Pockets podcast has a ton of information and I recommend listening to as many as possible.

I have been in your shoes before.  

Below are quick links to get engaged on this site.It's good to hear of your tightly coupled (no pun intended) partnership with your wife.You mentioned building a portfolio of properties and I suggest listening to podcast #151 if you haven't done so already. 

Be sure to listen to podcasts #8 and #79.  

So worth listening to the pitch at close.

Thank you guys for listening.
