Welcome @William OBrien III to the bigger pockets forums.

Have you decided on what type of investing you would like to get into?

This guide can help point you in a direction. The best thing that helped me out getting started was attending my local REIA and networking with investors, realtors, and lenders from my area

Also here are some books to get your started

The Book on Investing in Real Estate with low or no money down - This is Brandon Turners book and it provides a lot of tools to use so you can use a little of your own money in the deal as well as identifying deals that are right for you.

The Millionaire Real Estate Investor - This book taught me how to build an investing real estate strategy. It covers things like building your network, how to build a rate sheet, identifying great deals.

HOLD: How to Find, Buy, and Rent Houses for Wealth - I am currently reading this book now, it goes in depth on how to identify properties and run the numbers. They provide lots of examples on how to pin point your market. What the numbers should look like etc.

The E-Myth Revisited - This is a great business book what was a great read for an aspiring entrepreneur. The book teaches you how to not make the common mistakes in building your business and provides you with a framework on how you can successfully grow a business either solo or with a partner.

I also suggest going through the back archive of Pod Cast's. Every time I have a question about a topic I always go to find the pod cast first and listen to it while doing work around the house, or driving some where. They interview people who may not have made a million dollars yet but are well on their way and are willing to share their successes and failures the faced along their journey.
