The first thing I would do is to find real estate investment clubs in your area. I joined one a few years back and it really helped me out to be able to learn from the experience of other successful investors.
I have compiled a fairly large nationwide list of real estate investment groups at this page: http://www.findthatqualitytenant.com/investment_groups.html
Aside from that, it is also a good idea to read some books on different aspects of real estate investing. For a good book on fix-up I recommend "Fixin' Ugly Houses for Money" by Jay DeCima. If you're interested in buying foreclosures, another good book "The Reality of Real Estate Investing" By Allen Watkins is worth a read.
Another good topic to read up on is tenant screening. Many real estate investment books dedicate a chapter to it but I feel that most don't go into enough depth, so I wrote my own. If you're interested, you can find more information about my book (and also tons of free information about tenant screening) on my website (http://www.findthatqualitytenant.com)
One last thing that really helped me when I was starting out was to get a pocket dictionary of real estate terms. I studied a page per day until I had it stuck in my brain. This is really helpful for being able to communicate with realtors, investors, and other people in the business.
Good Luck,
Don Conrad

I think that you need a total guide on real estate like from the A – Z. There are many online sources that can help you in this…but that should be well sorted. Real estate investing has many features to it like probate real estate which is a less – known but a real good way to make the cash roll. Its an effective way to put your money for the real value.

Hi people, there is a question that I have and would like it to be answered. I have been thinking of real estate investing and I know that this is one of the better ways to indulge your money. But, there are still a few things related to real estate that need to be sorted out like how do the profits build up, what are the ways to go about this….and some more. Would you please help me to know more about real estate?????
