Getting Started in Real Estate Investment in Canada

Hello there,
I have been doing some research and reading books. What got me started was the Rich Dad Poor Dad book by Robert Kiyosaki. That opened the door to more and more research and I am sold on the idea of real estate investing. I have been overwhelmed by the vast amount of information and no matter how much I read, it just leads me down another tunnel of more information gathering.

I am currently in the Toronto area but based in the property prices here, it will be a very risky game in case I make any mistakes. I am willing to give it a try and I am very open to other areas of Canada as well. I would greatly appreciate anyone that could start pointing me in the right direction and can answer some of the questions that I have. 

Thanks
