RE Investing: Jumping In With Two Feet

[Account Closed]

Like many people in the BP family, I aspire to invest in RE. Without any experience in this field, can anyone recommend a solid book/video that will give me some detailed information on what I should prep for? What's preventing me from investing is I don't have a solid educational foundation. However, when I do, I want to "jump two feet" into this business.

My biggest concern is financing. I do work full time, but I don't make much (paying back my student loans). Is RE investing even possible for a person who has only been out of college a few years?

Thanks,

Ryan
