Next Steps For a Beginner?

Hey BP Family!

I do not currently own any property but I am super excited to get things started and more motivated than ever. I have been learning and educating myself on the process. One of my weaknesses is analysis paralysis. 

So my question to you vets or anyone who has taken those next steps is this. After you have you Clear Cut Criteria, what resources do you use to start running the numbers and evaluating properties to get the experience? I'm seeing a ton of info on zillow, realtor, etc.. What's important, what's not? Is there an excel sheet I can use to make calculating cash flow simple? 

Also, a bit of background - I am from Jersey and have lived in Charlotte, NC for 4 years. Working on rebuilding my down payment funds thanks to COVID and my credit score is steadily improving. Big caveat is I just renewed my lease for 12 months. 

What would you do if you were in my Reeboks?

Any and all advice is appreciated !
