@Ben Pepin I have some YouTube videos about the TSP (Google TSP Strategies and they will pop up) that will answer all of your questions, but ultimately the TSP is better than moth civilian IRA's.

The best way to learn anything is to go just a little bit out of your comfort zone, watch a ton of YouTube videos, and give it a shot.

Hello, I just joined because I've been casually watching videos, reading up on real estate investing and wanted to put myself out there.

I ended up here after watching several BP YouTube Videos. 

Our homemade machine is impressive so thought I'd share a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Lived up to the videos on it.

What books, videos, podcasts, etc. exist where I can have all the necessary information and confidence to actually go out there and DO a wholesale deal?

I recently watched a couple of videos by John Fedro and Propelio

I’ve done a grant Cardone course and watched videos on YouTube so far.

Echoing the others comments on VA Loan/Triplex or Fourplex route.Here's a simple roadmap for you:- Pick a market- Find a investor friendly real estate agent here for that market- Find a good property manager for that area from these forums (will be gold when you eventually move out of there)- When doing an home inspection, don't skimp - pay extra for the sewer line video scope (that repair is the most expensive nightmare that too many people skimp on), do a mold check, etc.Now with this stuff in mind, you don't need to ask "where do I start?"
