Hi, Travis and welcome to biggerpockets, it sounds like your next step should be to find your local real estate investing club and go to the meetings if there is more than one club in your area  check them out. you'll find that most of the people in these clubs are  friendly and willing to share their experience and give advice and who knows you may even find an experienced investor that is willing to mentor you or even partner on your first few deals.
