Start with a book that provides a bird's-eye view of investing. The "Ultimate Beginner's Guide To Real Estate Investing" is free and a good place to start. They have a new book coming out in the BP Store that is similar but more detailed and I would recommend reading that next.

Once you have a general understanding of terms and types of investing, then you can educate yourself on the specifics:

  • How do I find a good deal?
  • How do I pay for it?
  • How will I manage it?

I think it's important to be financially sound so maybe you could read a book like "Set For Life" by @Scott Trench and evaluate whether you're prepared. Without a solid foundation, everything else you do can fall apart.
