Where should I start? I have so many questions.

Any recommendations on certain books I should read? and podcast I should listen to?

For a beginner investor in RE with limited finances (I am Active Duty Military), What would be your first investment property  and how would you go about doing it?

Any and all advice is much appreciated. Thanks for taking your time to read my post, this website is very helpful.

@Alexander Felice Thanks for the advice. Ive also seen that some people decide to use the VA Loan for a Multi family unit and renting out the rest of the rooms they are not living in. What is your take on this?

@Amanda G. Thank you for the advice. Ive been reading up a lot about Real Estate and have came across a few people who have used there VA Loans as an investment but can never really find if it actually benefited them or not.

would using my VA loan for my first Real Estate investment be a smart move?

Let me start by introducing myself.

My name is Jacob Ferguson, I am married with one kid.  I am currently stationed in San Diego California. I have one more year here then hopefully I transfer to either Texas or Tennessee to do my four years of shore duty then I am out. I have recently starting reading articles about real estate investing and since then I have been hooked.

My goal is to create multiple sources of income. I want to live financially free and I believe I can get closer to achieving that by investing in real estate if I can do it the correct way. correct me if I am wrong?

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the VA loan? Would investing in a multi-family home be a good start? Renting out part of the house while I live in the other.

If you was in my shoes. Where would you start?
