New member / Potential investor

[Chris Jones]

Been consuming lots of great information on this site. Still trying to decide if I have what it takes to be a real estate investor. Looking to create passive income as I transition from a military career.

Currently pursuing more knowledge and advice on all cash buy and hold strategies. Seems to be difficult to find as search results usually produce numerous results explaining that leveraging is the way to go. I understand the principles behind the math, but still prefer to follow this path.

I would appreciate links to forums, blogs, or books from investors who practice or promote strategies for REI with your own money without leveraging.

Thanks.
