Hi Bernard,
Welcome to BP, this is a great website and resource for all types of real estate investing.
I always recommend these 3 things to beginners:
1) Do a lot of research here
2) Do not spend a lot of money with coaches, it would be much better to put that money to work and learn from experience, I'm not against coaches or education, but you need to be careful as there are some that are really bad
3) There are many real estate clubs out there, visit them, select your favorites and meet other investors working your area. You can find info on clubs here and also you can look at meetup.com. Networking is key to success.
Cheers! see you around...
