Suggestions for starting out in real estate investments?

[Richard Merckling]

Background: What initially got me interested in real estate investments was reading Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. After doing some google searches and reading a few blogs I stumbled across Bigger Pockets and decided to try and get some advice from the people that're doing it themselves.

What's the next course of study? Suggested books? Webinar? etc.

Thanks
