How to start??
I am new to real estate investment world and would like some help starting out. I have started to read some posts on BiggerPockets and it has been helpful.
How do I start? What is the first step I need to take to start? I live in Florida and have been looking for some properties. I would like to start with a home that needs little renovations and I could start renting out.
Thanks!

Welcome to BiggerPockets @Gustavo WoltmannI'd recommend starting with the Ultimate Beginner's Guide here on the site. It was made by @Brandon Turner and @Joshua Dorkin. It provides an excellent foundation for someone just starting out. Also, since you mentioned interest in rentals, it wouldn't hurt to buy another book by Brandon called "The Book on Rental Property Investing" Any other questions let me know, hope this helps!
