I want to get into investing in rentals for income, where should a newbie start?

[Ian F.]

My goal is to eventually own several single family homes for monthly cash flow and value building and automate as much as I can so I can spend more time doing what I enjoy.

Much easier said than done, but I know that people do it and have successful businesses.

Where should I start my journey? Is a REI club worth it?

Would it be a good idea to find a mentor and work for free, in exchange for mentorship?

Any and all advice greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
