If you are familiar with the KC or OKC markets, are a veteran or Active duty military and want to share war stories or understand my own service and transition out of the armed forces, or in the Houston Heights area and want to make friends with a fellow investor and father of a toddler – hit me up!

What books and resources do you recommend I read while I am in the early learning phase?

Ultimately, staying true to the contract and phases could've saved me headaches and a loss of time and money.
