Looking for advice

[Blake Bailey]

Hey guys I am new to the group and just wanted to be an open book and see what you guys would do in my shoes. I am 24, married, have a home that i already own outright with no mortgage and we have about $65k in liquid cash. I have a associates degree in business management but I have been reselling on Amazon, eBay and a few other places since 2019 full time. I have grown tired of what I do and I am about to take my final exam to become a real estate agent as well, but my main goal since about 2017 has been to eventually become a full time investor. I have looked into doing about everything and this is the one thing that I have found that really piques my interest and I am beyond ready to get started. I have been listening to the podcast episodes, watching the youtube videos and reading the forums for about 2 years on and off and I am tired of procrastinating but just have no idea how to take the first step towards my goals of financial freedom. Should I get pre approved? Should I start calculating deals? It's just pretty overwhelming because I am doing this totally alone in a town of about 5k people and just have no idea how to get the ball rolling and I thought I might see what some of you guys think. Any tips would be so appreciated. TIA!
