New Investor In the New Orleans Area

Hello everyone, my name is Chad Carrone, I was born and raised here in the New Orleans area. I have been a combat medic in the Army for 6 1/2 years and I am currently making my transition into the Inactive Ready Reserve.
I was raised to believe the old montra of go to school, get a job, retire. It wasn't until about 2 years ago that I started to realize that being an employee for someone else just isn't my idea of living. I have read many books by Robert Kiosaki and Donald Trump knowing that I wanted to get into real estate, and they did help a lot with mind frame, but what they lacked was details on how to get started.
How to get started was an answer I found in Dean's books which I have just recently purchased. I'm very excited about starting my career as an investor and look forward to all the thrills I'm sure are out there waiting for me.
I am starting this thread like many others have done looking for a mentor, not a baby sitter, but a like minded individual who could help steer me in the right direction and offer enlightenment when I find myself stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'm a very motivated person but sometimes I can go full blast in one direction and zooom right past my turn, lol. Other times I can get a little too over confident and bite off more than I can chew. I coming into this field of expertise with virtually no experience , as a humble boy looking to learn from someone who has been there and can give me good advice that I can use to be successful myself. Maybe the mentor-ship will evolve into a lasting friendship or even a partnership.
If anyone in the New Orleans area thinks they can help me out let me know send me a PM and we can connect in person. Thanks to everyone, and good luck to everyone in all of their future ventures.
