Knowledge is power!

Another brief post for today. I finally finished a book that I bought either last month or the month before, “How to invest in real estate” by Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner. The information I’ve come across makes me glad that I took the time to read through it. Even though, I’d already told me self that I’d go with investing fourplexes, it gives me confidence in knowing what other alternative niches are available, what several investing strategies can be used, and ways to find deals. It’s helped my affirm my ideal first real estate move will be to househack a fourplex. It’s also exciting because up until recently it had been awhile since I challenged myself to read any written material beyond a few pages, much less an actual book, and to do it more for gaining knowledge and not just entertainment. Before yesterday I had read the first 100 pages of this book over the span of several weeks but yesterday I buckled down and ready 30-50 pages and today I read another 100 pages, completely finishing the book in the process. On a Saturday! Right now I feel pretty energized. Before the end of the tomorrow I plan to order another book that I feel will helpful for my goals. Also, I will work on a writing a plan to find and buy my first rental property.
