Salutations, Everyone

My name is Aaron, and Ill start with a thank you to this website and everyone here. Ive been a long time lurker, reading and watching videos. It's been invaluable.

I'm a "starving artist" although I've never truly been hungry. I consider myself primarily an actor, but auditions and jobs are always temporary. I'm a Ballroom Dance instructor in the evenings, but I get paid by the lesson and seasons affect business. I'm also an author, buy my first story won't be published for another year. 

Anyone seeing the problem?

For the last decade I've been in and out of my parents' home. They're loving and accepting of my situation, but most potential lovers are not. I have to chose between rent and investing in my skills, eating healthy and maintaining my car for auditions, so on and so forth.

I always thought I'd have to go through this until I got a really good pay day, and then I read Rich Dad Poor Dad. It was then that I realized... that payday isn't coming.

I jumped into Robert Kiyosaki's website and realized that although the info is legitimate, it's behind a steep pay wall I can't afford.

My search led me here, and here I am. 

I'd like to build passive income through real estate. I've read a few bigger pockets books, but I thrive with like minded company. That's why I'm finally introducing myself.

So... hello!
