@Hayden Haucke Welcome to the forums!  

Hi everyone, i wish i had found this forum earlier.

I realized that simply earning money following Jeff's advice across different part time jobs and investing wisely and networking with other folks is the way to go.Yes indeed many wonderful folks in this forum are right.. you can network with others to help you get the house.. where for example you can be the guy with boots on the ground, while investors provide passive income or partially also be a bit of both active and passive... type of investors... where for example some of them can help you analyze deal and get it under contract... 

Hi everybody-This is my first post on BiggerPockets and I have what I would guess is an uncommon question for this forum...

For the past year, I have been educating myself using books, forums, podcasts, networking etc.

Here is a list of all the books ever mentioned in the podcasts. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/79/topics/388292-list-of-all-books-mentioned-on-biggerpocketscom-podcastRich dad poor dad is a great starter book.

As a fellow newbie I had such a similar post not too long ago (the link to that is: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/572/topics/52...)Hope that is helpful, and you can PM any of the people who responded to that if you have specific questions.Good luck!

(For a example of how bad it can get just look up Morris Invest on the forums).
