Glad to have you!

 Hi Janet,

That's a pretty open questions. First I would do what Steve said. Secondly you need to figure out your tarting point? Do you have capital to invest? Do you know other people with capital to invest? Are you looking for short term deals such as fix and flip? Or are you more interested in long term holds such as Lease Options and Rentals. And what kind of skills do you have? Are you good at sales or online marketing? Maybe you good do joint ventures or even birddogging for other investors? 

There are lots of ways to get started in REI. But it all comes down to what you want and where you are starting. Are you looking for passive or more hands on investments.
