So I have been listening too podcasts, reading books and watching YouTube videos on Real Estate Investing for around 2 months now. My question Is after how long if learning about the industry should I start acting upon what I learned and look for deals to invest in.

Real estate investing is a bit like planting trees.  The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago; the next best time to plant is today.

Go inspect 100 properties in your target area.  You will find a great deal to invest in.

Sound like a lot of work?  If you inspect just 2 a day, 5 days per week, in 10 weeks, you will be an expert in your area, and probably know more about that market than the average re agent working there.

Good luck.
