My wife and I think its about time to get started on our real estate investing careers.

@Richard Fields You'll be refinancing OUT of existing financing, that is, out of your cash and credit card debt.  

My career path has afforded me many amazing opportunities and insights.

I'm damn proud to be a part of such a community and I hope to be able to contribute strongly.I have 5 years of real estate investing experience and 10 years of corporate management experience, both of which will contribute to the long-term success of my investing career.

And yes, Rich dad poor dad was one of my first books in this field as well.

I am a complete rookie in the real estate investing field and I would love some advice for an opportunity i have coming up.

@Lucas LeBlancCongrats on shedding the 9-5 and starting your REI career.  

Long story short the job sucks and I'm no longer looking at it as a career.

I feel like that's their field.

In the residential field, you can get away with this as you likely will never deal with this agent again but agents do talk and retracing often will make a bad name for you.
