Brand new any advice much appreciated

I'm totally new to this market. I bought the rich dad poor dad blueprint for 99 a month total of 5 payments. and was wondering thoughts on that? Just purchased yesterday. So far I've learned allot and the forms are helpful but then found this site biggerpockets today and I'm just amazed with the community.

2 yr ago I became disabled and lost everything. Currently living with a family member it got that bad along with my credit shooting to 497 from all the medical bills. Pretty much all liabilities and no assets so outcome was bad. Finally getting last surgery tmr (2nd hip replacement) actually and will have my ability to walk back and be able to start working. And was gonna start a ride company. But last weeks I've been learning about real estate and I've grown a motivation, passion for it. And I know this is what I want to do.  So im starting with little money and poor credit. soon as I'm healed I'm building credit again and will be able to save for assets. I'm more than motivated to make this work no matter what my circumstances are.

any advice or if anyone has time to talk a bit I'd love to hear anything. Tips on seller financing as I have some work to do before any bank will probably loan. No cc debt or anything like that just ambulance and hospitals. really just everything and anything anyone would be willing to share id be so greatful. I'm a new born to this and know nothing besides what I'm taking in and would appreciate anything. Rich dad poor dad has been helpful but after seeing this website wondering if that was a poor investment. I am learning allot and like detailed step by step is for making your 1st asset purchase even with little to money with poor credit. Pretty much I just want to build a better life and create and build assets to be financially free

Thanks I'm excited and happy to be part of this online community!!!!

I believe Brandon Turner has a free book on this site called the beginners guide to investing in real estate. Read a lot! Listen to all the podcasts! Knowledge and relationships are the real value. Zillow is free, pick a market and get to know it inside and out. That will make a big difference when you do start purchasing, you’ll need to know a good deal when you see it :)
