Hello, my name is Scott and I'm interested in breaking into real estate investment. I've been lurking on this site for awhile now and I'd first like to thank everyone that's contributed so much useful knowledge for free.

I'm a former airline pilot, current stay at home dad and I'd like to learn as much as I can and get any pointers on what a good investment strategy would be in my area. I worked in the construction industry during summers home from college for many years. We did everything from flips, rehabs, to multimillion dollar new construction.

Right now I'd really like to just start learning all I can in my (very precious) free time while my children are young. Once they hit school age in about 3 years I'd like to jump into the industry full time in some capacity (I hope to never touch another airplane again :)).

Thanks in advance to the reply's.
