Yep, I'm a newbie

[Carlton McLaurin]

Hello all, I am excited to see how much information is on BP and the amount of people who are interested in giving tips and advice to newcomers like myself. I'm looking to get into investment properties for passive income as well as active income (don't really know what my niche is just yet). I live in the great state of MS (sarcasm) and definitely need some advice as far as getting started in a not so active market, compared to most here on the site. Any advice as far as helpful books, article links, or just ol' fashioned knowledge from trial and error would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, I look forward to the responses.
