Small Scale Investor Looking to Grow

[Devin Cordell]

Hello everyone. Relatively new investor here, looking to grow with minimized risk. Local to the Birmingham, Alabama area, specifically just north of Birmingham. Just recently found the Bigger Pockets podcast and I've been consuming a lot of it. I've only been involved in real estate (besides just a primary residence) for about a year now. I love it, and would much rather prefer doing this for a career. 

I currently own three long-term rentals, all of which are paid off. I've completed one flip.  I want to do more but I'm in a situation where I don't want to go into more debt to grow the portfolio (big mortgage on my primary residence). Just looking to get more information and learn and meet others doing what I'm doing. 

Also exploring getting a real estate license more for myself and to learn more about the industry.
