Good morning!! I'm so excited about this new endeavor into real estate investment and entrepreneurship. My partner and I are complete newbies. Any advice would be helpful!! Looking to start ASAP :)

You are already in the right place in the BP forums, but try to consume as much podcast and reading material as you can. My favorite book and the one that got me started was Set For Life by Scott Trench (a Bigger Pockets book).

Also, if you are in the position to do so, house hacking is a great way to get started! The goal would be to find a duplex in your area, live in one side and rent out the other. Your remaining mortgage will be smaller than you would typically pay somewhere else in rent and you will have your tenant on the other side helping to pay off the rest of the mortgage.
