How did you get started? Advice to newbies!

First post alert! Greetings Bigger Pocket Family!

For those seasoned investors (or newbies), how did you get started? Let's be honest, there is a wealth of information found all over the internet and in Podcast. However, when faced with this endless bucket of information, it is fairly difficult to not fall into "analysis paralysis". I have read several books, to include: Long-Distance Real Estate Investing, BRRRR, Estimating Rehab Costs, The Book on Advanced Tax Strategies (VOL 1 and 2), and quite a few leadership books. However, I am still finding myself asking the question "Where do I start?".

I was hoping that someone would be willing to share the beginning of their journey, for those out there,  like me, who are stuck on the hamster wheel. For those who are starting with zero experience in real estate, outside of books and podcast.  For those starting at "Level One".

I am so thrilled to be on this journey and I thank you in advance for any nuggets that you're willing to share.

- Shannon
