I am finally getting started in real estate and am looking for advice or a funding partner. 

So we kept renting and finally bought our own home.

The best learning tools I would recommend are:  Read Brandon Turner's book on Rental Property Investing https://www.amazon.com/Book-Rental-Property-Investing-Passive-ebook/dp/B018UTI2DOListening to the BP Real Estate podcast https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcastListening to the BP money podcast https://www.biggerpockets.com/moneyshowAttend your local REIA meetings to networkStart analyzing deals to get practiceEngage more on the BP forumsAll the best!

Of course, after I graduate college I plan on buying my own rental properties.I've been reading books, watching some YouTube videos, and I just started listening to the BiggerPockets Podcast (which is phenomenal by the way).
