Thanks @Donald Capwell,

I've moved past the beginners guide, but I still go to it when I forget something or have questions. Right now I'm looking to get my team together and have had my eye on a few houses here in town. 

My plan is to work on 2-3 bedroom houses for rental properties. I'm also tossing around the idea of using prefab homes with brick underpinning as another way to get into the Real Estate scene.

To answer your question: No, as of right now I'm living with the in-laws to save money on the bills to put toward my investment properties. I've heard of using FHA to get started before. I remember reading something about using a Federal Loan to buy a duplex-4plex and living in one of the units for the first few years while using the other units as income.

My account saying I've been on Biggerpockets for about a year now, but in truth I've been studying Real Estate off and on for a little more than that. It was only in the last 6 months did I realize just how little I knew about Real Estate, and how much I really wanted to learn.

My name is John Whitfield, and I am a aspiring real estate investor. As the year ends and a new one begins I hope to take a leap of faith and secure my first deal to take hold of my freedom as a Real estate investor and Entrepreneur. 

Looking forward to meeting and greeting some great minds here on the forums and the site.
