I'm a teacher in Springfield Missouri. I have recently took over management of some rental property for my parents who are elderly. What can I say....I'm hooked. Any advice would be great. I did find an investor group and I will attend my first meeting on Tuesday.

Welcome to Biggerpockets!
You found the place to be! You will find no better place to build a solid platform than bigger pockets. The one thing we all agree up on is that we invest in real estate. Beyond that everyone has a different niche and we love to talk about it!
We are buy and hold investors who invest in class A properties self-managing from a distance while working full time. So we do work on furthering our careers. We live very frugally allowing us to live off of one income and save the other. We have further our career and used the W2 income to leverage our real estate portfolio.
I manage 4 properties for my parents! I agree real estate is addicting. Make sure you have a POA and everything is set so you can manage if something happens. That is my 2015-2016 to make sure that everything is assumed easily in the case they are incompasitated or no long with us.
I highly recommend you also check out- the blogs, forums and listen to the podcasts. If you see a post you enjoy check out the persons signature. As many of us have created resources around our niche (websites, blogs, etc) so checking out the signature is a great to get more information. Make sure you don't miss out on networking is by filling out your signature, profile and pming people with questions.
I look forward to seeing you around! Pm me if I can help!!

Hi Kristi!
Welcome to BP! I actually went to Missouri State and live in St. Louis now. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Just like others have said, the forums are incredible here. Just about any question you might have has been answered. If not, ask it! I spent a lot of time on the site when I first started investing.

Welcome!
You're attending an investor group meeting on Tuesday? The only one I know of meets on Thursday of this week. It's a pretty large and good group. http://www.reinvestorgroup.com/
