On step 1 and need help

[David Stubblefield]

Let me start this off by admitting I'm clueless on how to get into this field.

I want to learn from step one such as how to get enough money or how much should I have for rental properties or investments, I want to get into rent houses in my area, I live in Houston and with everything going on I know our market is thriving, I have some money and I'm expecting with this recession that pricing will drop and it will be an easier way to cash flow. I would love a step by step guide basically on how to get started and what choices others have made when going through their journey.  Any insight would be amazing. 

Thank you everyone !
