Top 5 Resources to Start?

Hello all, I had a friend tell me I should join BP. I've been browsing, but haven't found what I'm looking for on the site yet. I'd like to watch/listen to the top 5 topics on real estate investing. I'm finding some videos are too vague and some are too detailed. I do want to hear flipping homes, homes for rental income, leveraging cash vs rental income etc... I believe I'd like to be a landlord, and I know its not for everyone, so while I'm moving towards this new career(Home Inspection), it would be nice to listen to experiences from different walks of life. Quick run down of me and what I've got going on. 

2010 UCF Grad Marketing Major

10 years managing cellphone repair shops, 2 yeas Help Desk

Currently unemployed and studying for Home Inspector License, should be done in the next 2 weeks and ready to take the exam. 

Real estate experience. Purchased a home in Orlando 2007 unfortunately let it go to foreclosure 2011. Just purchased a home in Ocala, FL end of 2020, COOL I bought in two of the highest markets ever in history, but learned my lesson from the first one, timing isn't always perfect for your income and cash to purchase a home. 

My mom passed away last year and left me 20 acres and a home in rural south Georgia. The home needs some TLC and my first thought was I don't want to be a landlord to a place so far away (4 hours from Ocala), but now I'm second guessing what I should do with that property rent or sell?

Besides working in I.T. I'm a pretty good DIY'er, Mechanic, and Welder. 

I'm looking for any input on your favorite podcasts, videos, or reads. Maybe it's time to dust off that Rich Dad, Poor Dad book someone gave me 15 years ago.
