What did you do as a beginner to be where you are at today ?

[Daniel Barnett]

Hello everyone, I am very new to BP and I would like to hear how others gained knowledge about real estate investing. Did you read many books? (If so what are the titles?). Did you have a mentor? ( how did you find your mentor?) did you dive in and just learn from experience? ( what steps did you go through in the process). I am just hoping to get a good direction and learn as much as I can in the next year or so while saving money that I want to invest toward my first property. Thank you guys for your input, I really appreciate it! -Daniel
