Hello, my name is martin and Im wanting to get into real estate but know the ins and outs. I have been reading books and the "rich dad poor dad" has definitely pushed into this direction. So was inquiring about any assistance about my area that may help me get started. I live in houston, texas and would greatly appreciate any help I could receive.

Keep educating yourself. Read the ABCs of Buying Rental Property by Ken McElroy and then The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner. The first book is easy to understand the author is great at explaining things at multiple levels (which I appreciate as a teacher). The second book is on the same topic but is much more in depth. Watch Youtube videos on evaluating deals, and then start doing that by searching your local area. If you have an iphone, download the Rental Calculator app to help with the numbers. There is an app for Android, but I don't know what it is. Good Luck!
