Seasoned Newbie... where to begin?

[Jonathon Moore]

I was in Finance for 13 years and feel that I have a great hold on the stock market side of things. So for me, its not so much the risk as it is the know how and where to begin. I JUST started out with BP and am excited to learn more on the real estate side of the markets. I have goals, but I know I need to learn. I also don't want to get paralysis by analysis though. 

I know this is a common thing, but I am just curious where some of you focused in the beginning. What would you all suggest?
