You've got some pretty good contacts already above, and I would also suggest you join in on the next local meet up.

Still researching the market for a potential areas to buy in and would love to join your REI community.

I joined the workforce almost two years ago at a company that does 401k matching 50¢ to every $1 up to the federal limit.

.- Look for a mentor- if you show that you are legitimately interested, full of energy, and willing to get in and do the work, lots of people will be happy to let you learn from them.

(A lot of this plan has changed since I discovered the @BiggerPockets .com group recently) I was originally thinking to use my VA Loan to get into properties with little down and do 2 year flips and then "sell" or "transfer" the property deed to my partners name to free up my available VA loan to purchase a 2nd property in Hawaii (I lived in Hawaii for 3 years and have solid connections and visit often) which would be Multi-Family Unit and allow me to rent out the other units full time and possibly do short term rentals in our unit when we are not on the island.After joining the BP group I have since learned there are many other resources and quicker outcomes than in my original rough draft plan.

I believe that your concern about being over-leveraged is a legitimate concern given all of the uncertainty now and in the near future. 

Once its safe to go out and connect in person again, you should look into joining some local real estate investing groups.

It is always great to see new people joining the ranks!

Join FB groups where homeowners may interact and comment on their posts with value.One last thought, your broker may offer you a free CRM, and email.  

Glad you joined the best real estate investing website!
