Hello! New guy from Florida here

Hi Everyone,

My name is Brett and I'm a brand new investor in the Central Florida area. 

I've been interested in real estate ever since my mid 20's when I picked up a little known book called "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and learned about the concept of multiple streams of income. Getting off the ground has been a little trickier than I thought it would be, but I'm undeterred in my ambition to replace my career income with rental income. 

Actually, I guess you could say that I have gotten started, just not in the way I wanted: I'm a homeowner and I rent out my spare bedrooms to two tenants who, combined, pay the mortgage for me. I'm planning on using the majority of what I'm saving to bankroll my next investment, but the progress is slow. 

Given my lack of capital to invest with, I am most interested in low/no money down paths like lease options, tax liens, and seller financing. I'm also interested in learning about wholesaling (though some of the blog posts I've read here are making me think this might be a lot harder than it looks). 

Thanks for reading!
