I plan to do a lot of reading, watching training videos, listening to audio books, and talking with people to educate myself.

I feel that this was a valuable first experience and since then have been increasing my education by reading books and listening to the podcasts.

Any feedback on the outlook, area, etc.?   

@Ramsey BlankenshipAwesome to read!

Im sorry for the weird question I have been reading a lot about leveraging money and because its my first deal, would like to make the best choices.

I have been reading (scouring) the forum on SDIRA/SDIRA-LLC/SOLO-401K information, and am absolutely confused!

Someone brand new to this site should start listening to the podcasts, subscribe to the newsletter, and start reading through The Ultimate Beginner's Guide  https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investin...You'll get lots more actionable tip ideas once you start going through those resources.

But perhaps it is the thoughts and experience that matters the most; and maybe more so to hear the feedback or new ideas... or maybe just simply hear the voices outside the one in my head.I hope this is the right section to post this under, and I sure hope BP is the right place to finally share my story:=============================================================2008: While at UT Austin, the world crashed and burned.

I have already introduced myself here, but for those who did not read the first introduction...Hi!
