And believe me, this is the time that you really do not want to miss out on expanding your knowledge.

My dad isn't too investment savvy, however, he is an expert in construction(everyone I meet that has worked with him always tells me how good he is) and I would really like to purchase a property with him to get him interested in real estate.

I'm looking for any advice from someone with knowledge on the subject.

This requires either a good property manager or extensive abilities/knowledge of construction.

I recently picked up two books which are Brandon Turners rental property investing and little or no money down book, both have been great so far but i know this is just the beginning on my great real estate journey and i will need to obtain more knowledge. i have a question that i want to get off my chest and i have been itching to ask, for all my experienced investors and not so experienced investors if you where my age or if you are my age, the information that you know now and situations you have experienced what would YOU do if you where in my shoes to start off?

We've had a really hard time getting our accountant to get back to us on questions (arg- probably need to switch to someone in Oklahoma City with better knowledge on real estate tax code) because I'm definitely wanting more clarification on logging hours and what applies.

the cash just rolls in.I'm building up as much knowledge as I can at this point and combining with my own experience to start small out of state and build from there.

I'm soaking up as much knowledge as possible, through podcasts, various youtube videos, guides here on Bigger Pockets, and anyone who's willing to talk real estate with me.I've started looking into the local REIA groups to meet other investors in the area, just to get some insight into challenges, triumphs, and over all experience in the business here in Charlotte and surrounding areas. 

Personally, I'll be honest and say I'm no expert in FHA 203k loans. 

I've been reading David Greene's Long-Distance Real Estate Investing to build some knowledge but I don't want to get stuck in the analysis paralysis phase and would like to take action as soon as possible.I'm mainly looking for small multi-family properties (duplex, triplex, fourplex) to start with and eventually expand towards commercial properties.
