New to the industry

[Dwayne Taylor]

Im new to the industry (can't really even say I'm in it yet)... Though over the past year i have been doing some research. I'm interested in purchasing a multi-family property to buy and hold in Newark NJ. I have no experience in real estate but i have some skill in plumbing, light construction and other areas. I would like to buy abandon or foreclosed homes, renovate and rent. Im basically looking for help being pointed in the right direction. I want to know the right steps to take for success! Should i take a real estate course? Or any suggestion on other classes? Any advice would be much appreciated!
