@Andy Jenkins thank you so much this means a lot to me I’ve been listening to a lot of the BP and watching a lot of videos on YouTube.

I have enjoyed the online learning tools and videos.

When it comes to gathering information and learning, I have read 5 or 6 books on investing in real estate and have listened to podcasts and watched multiple YouTube videos explaining the process but do you recommend any certain books or articles that have really helped you?

Yes, I have learned soooo much from BP, so many pod casts, videos, books, but a mentor will help evaluate a deal to make sure the numbers make sense, assist with the rehab project, answer the calls and emails, display compassion, patience and kindness.

You could read books, watch random YouTube videos or seek a mentor.When I hear "a very good W2 job that pays well," my mind automatically goes to passively investing in a syndication but that's because my focus is on syndications.

I’ve watched tons of videos on YouTube, read articles, and even reached out to other agents, whom most are fond of working with wholesalers!

An area where the more knowledge you have the more money you can make creatively.I strongly suggest you watch the lease option (RTO or LO) videos on youtube.com in general.  

You can still get sufficient exposure to the property through digital means (photographs, video, 3D virtual tours, etc) to list a property (as an agent), flip a property, or wholesale a property. 

To that end, I've watched YouTube videos and read a little on forums.
