New to BP, new to FL

[Raman Singh]

Hi y'all,

I just recently moved to Southwest Florida from Houston, I'm a 27 year old with a professional 8 to 6PM job and I am hungry. Real Estate Investing has always piqued my interest. I've learned in my life that having a plan is very important. Where do I begin in this real estate investing journey? I see the end result and I need help backtracking from that end result to step #1. Any recommended readings? Strategies?

Thoughts? Suggestions? Questions?

Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Raman Singh. 

As for recommended readings, I recommend the entire published works of BiggerPockets.com. OK, that was a bit of a joke, but really, you are in one of the best places to learn about real estate. This site is made up of hundreds of thousands of people who want to invest in real estate. All levels of experience is represented here, so if you have a specific question, ask away. You should receive lots of responses. 

Brandon Turner compiled a list of 21 best investing books for real estate investors. That's a good place to start, too.

We have an awesome Podcast. Every Thursday we come out with a new episode. We're on 146, so you have some catching up to do. Great to listen to in the car on the way to work or while rehabbing your property.
