Hey @Charles Burgess

Welcome to BP and welcome to REI. It is an exciting journey, and you're in the right place at BP.

I recommend setting some short-term goals, like learning something very specific, getting your real estate license, etc. The biggest thing you'll have to fight is overwhelm, so it's important to make baby-step progress towards something so that you can say "yeah, I'm moving forward."

I also attend the local REIA meetings on the 3rd Thursday of the month in Greenville. That's a good place to meet other local investors.

Best of luck!
