Hey everyone, 

I just wanted to introduce myself. I am brand new to the real estate investing world. So, I'm here looking to soak up all the knowledge I can from the individuals who are where I want to be.

If the current economic climate has taught me anything, it would be that we are expendable as employees and can be fired or laid off at the drop of a hat (which happened to me). I've always been someone with an entrepreneurial spirit and I've never been a fan of letting a boss dictate my life. 

My goal is to become passionate about real estate and to use it as a vehicle to build long term wealth. I know wholesaling is more difficult than the gurus make it out to be, but I would like to close my first deal within the next 30-60 days. 

Any book recommendations, advice, or motivation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post and I look forward to growing as investors together.

Karl
