Welcome @Teal Renzema to BP ! You covered all the basis except politics, lol.
I would encourage you to check out the local REIA groups as well as the various Meetup opportutnities in the area. You will have the opportunity to meet and learn from like minded RE investors as well. Persevere!

Hi Teal,
Welcome to Bigger Pockets. You have an interesting name. I like it.
My name is Desi Arnaz. I discovered BP a while ago but didn't really get involved until recently. I'm sorry I waited so long to "plug in". BP is an awesome resource.
I am a cash flow investor. I have been a landlord since 1982 and I have also flipped a fair numbers of homes over the years.
A couple of years ago I discovered the "paper" side of the real estate investment world. I purchased my first Mortgage Note. I have been actively acquiring Notes for passive cash flow since that time.
I like the the passive nature, the safety and the cash flow that I receive from Performing Mortgage Notes. I still own "brick & mortar" real estate but my end game is to be 100% in paper at some point.
I upgraded to BP Pro & upgraded my profile. Check it out.
