What do I need to learn & how to go about Research?

[Obed H. Bey]

I've been talking about real estate for the past couple years and really want to invest. I don't want to fall in the"analysis paralysis" category but I also don't want to go in blind. Yes, there is some fear. I have financing but zero "know how". I'm willing to do the work but not sure where to start in terms of education and research. Please help.
