Feeling overwhelmed about real estate

Hello all, How do you even get started? I think I want to flip to build income then eventually get into rental properties. The information seems overwhelming and the risk factor is super intimidating. We purchased our first home 2 years ago. The stress of it all was off the charts! A beautiful home with lots of cover ups of major problems. I felt duped by everyone involved in the deal. This definitely adds to my fears of getting out here in the real estate world. Where does one begin?

@Samantha Payne smith

Begin by reading books, looking/listening to material on this site, go to your local REI clubs, and attend various networking events. You need to properly educate yourself before dipping into deep waters. It is a great business to be in BUT you need to properly equip yourself mentally before just going in.

Best of luck and if you have any questions always feel free to ask!
