After learning and feel ready, what's the next step

[Michael Trueba]

I believe I have the knowledge to finally get started in real estate investing. I've read and listened about investing in real estate. HOWEVER, what is the next step?! 

Find an agent? Find the house? Get preapproved? (what about my credit score, how long will that offer last?)
I'm interested in buy, /light fixer upper, rent and hold. Appreciate any advice about my next step.

get pre aprpoved to see what you qualify for. pre approval typically last for 90 days as thats when your credit expires. you dont necessarily have to rerun your credit to refresh depending on lender you work with. take action as you are as ready as you need to be. let me know if i can help in any way
