Ensure you have enough to buy an investment property and also enough for a safety net in case something goes wrong shortly after purchase.

My short term goals to get started would be to get into the wholesaling side of real estate and earn capital to eventually invest in purchasing properties on my own for renting and also fixing/flipping.

I am interested in investing in real estate and I just discovered the podcast and website.

Right now I am trying to consider the costs/benefits of taking some money out of stocks to buy a property in Belize, with the goal being using it for short-term rentals.

But that being said, it's also equally short sighted to say that taxes are inevitable so just pay them always and be done.  

Cranberry Twp is a suburb of Pittsburgh and doesn't seem to have much of a short term rental market. 

If you plan to relocate to other areas of the country in short term, it may be better idea to rent and downsize to save money. 

In short, I’m all about getting as much info as I can before I start really delving into making deals.With education in mind, what are some audiobooks that you would recommend for beginners?

I'm looking forward to visiting @Kyle Godbout and @Dennis Tierney I'll send you a connect request here shortly. 

For Ontario I like Sudbury, Kingston and newly discovered Windsor(due to so many talking about it on BP).
