Hey Chris, the best advice I can give is DO IT. When you find a book or a course, Do the Work of THAT person's teachings. Experience is your best teacher. Start where you feel comfortable. If you have capital to invest or your don't, your starting point will be different than others. Find a local meetup in your area and meet some investors in the group. Buy them lunch or coffee and pick their brains. Ask how they got started. Ask what they focus on and why? Figure out what really gets you going and then get after it.
You won't know everything when you start, and you'll quickly find out your deficiencies. Start filling in the gaps. You also won't know what questions to ask until you're faced with a situation.
Podcasts, books, Bigger Pockets, Meetups, other investors. These are all good places to start.
