New to Real Estate - Where to Start???

Hey guys! So I signed up for BP a year ago but allowed myself to get distracted and I took my eyes off the ball for several months. I'm sort of just looking for some people to make acquaintances with because I felt alone last time, and that may be one of the reasons I didn't stick with it. Anyways, I'm currently working as an electrical apprentice in MA, have a background in maintenance in a senior living facility, and have a Bachelor's degree in Finance. I was also a former real estate agent - and this is all since 2019. So as you can see I've been bouncing around a lot and haven't really found anything that I can call 'home' prior to starting as an elec. apprentice.

I'm back on BP because I really want to hunker down and focus on one thing. My interest has jumped from strategy to strategy (Rentals, Flipping, Syndication, etc.) I already got a little overwhelmed being back on the site after so long because I've missed so much. Anyways, hello everyone! I hope to make some friends and feel at home here :)

    @Daniel Haberkost Thanks for the response, Daniel! I read that book quite some time ago but I may be due for a refresher read. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone in jumping around. And house hacking seems to be a fantastic idea. As I'm looking to move out of my mom's house within the next 6 months, that will be a great direction to go in. Thanks again, Daniel!
