Hands down, go to real estate meetups in your area. All of them. Never miss one. In six months, if you read some books and listen to podcasts, your knowledge base will be up, but you will also have connections. Don't look for a handout, go build connections.

Figure out what your why is. Why do you want to get into real estate investing? If it's to make quick money, stop now. If you are thinking long-term and want to build generational wealth, it takes time and it takes connections. Meet other people in your area doing the same thing.

    I agree with Jonathan on the importance of reading books, especially the ones available on Bigger Pockets. I'm not trying to sell their books, but reading can be really beneficial. When you read books, you can gain an understanding of how things work, but you won't truly learn until you put that knowledge into action. Also, reading some of the posts that new investors have already made can be helpful.

    Just dive in and ask as many questions as possible. Keep learning and you'll start to get the bigger picture of real estate.
