I live in Collin County, TX. I am semi-retired and looking to supplement my retirement income with Real Estate and build a business that I can leave with my daughter and Grand Kids! I am a rookie in Real estate and I have never done a deal. I have the desire and passion to learn from the best!

Wow, Linval, are you on the BP payroll? LOL :)
Getting started, I strongly suggest you begin by learning the basics of real estate before jumping into podcasts, getting advice in public forums or reading blogs by just anyone.
If you're going to begin by reading a blog, try "How to develop a good BS Meter!"
By the "Basics" I'm talking about the information Realtors must learn to obtain a license, not a basics for investors that jumps right in talking about generalities of niche operations.
Simply, bone up on the areas that you need to expand knowledge in such as, Forums, Marketplace, Learn, Network, Analyze and Resources.
Feast on the Podcasts, #askbp Podcasts, blogs and webinars
Lastly, this site thrives on interactions and as such we encourage two way exchanges and look forward to educational and thought provoking ideas relevant to REI.
I live in Murphy and focus on Collin County and northern Dallas County as both an investor and as a Realtor. If you would like more information on the local market please contact me either through a PM or my contact information in my profile.
You might be interested in two local real estate investing activities.
I attend the monthly general meetings of the North Texas Association of Real Estate Investors (www.ntarei.com). There are also classes throughout the month. [There is a cost for these meetings - check their website.]
