I was motivated after coming across a copy of rich dad, poor dad and several books later ("Investing in apartment buildings", "Multi-family millions", etc.) and now here i am.

Soon after we bought that, we read Rich Dad Poor Dad, and sought out our first investment property, a rental.

There are tons of "Get Rich Quick in real estate" offerings out there but you're going to have to decide which is the best education path for you; an online course, some guru, local classes or mentoring.

If you are only able to save $400/mo right now that seems to indicate that you're not exactly rolling in cash flow from the properties you already own.Real estate is a get-rich-slow kind of thing, at first.
