Work backwards, define where you want to be and work back until you find a step you can make with your current situation.You have 25k and a full time job.

@Brandon, trust me... given the OBVIOUS fact that I am not a "guru" of any sort... just a practitioner, like you.My argument, (although falling on deaf ears) is simply that MANY questions that are asked (and there are a TON of great ones on BP.. again... thanks to you.) that cannot be answered quickly or easily on a simple 150 character post.

This can be illegal in some states due to brokering laws (i.e: what a state defines as brokering.)

For example, "remotely throughout the U.S." is somewhat vague, but defining a specific market you'd like is a more workable goal.

The first thing you'll have to do is define your investment strategy.
