New to Real Estate, where to begin??

[Jack Ross]

Hello everyone, 

                     I'm new to Real Estate and found these forums recently. It is so informative and helpful! 

I am a bit overwhelmed, albeit  a bit lost as well. I'm currently in the process of getting my RE License, as I can't imagine it hurts to have one. 

I'm not sure where to begin as far as investing. I am leaning towards buying and holding properties for rental and cash flow at the present time. 

What advice would you give to a person just starting out in todays current economy and RE market? 

Thanks in advance. 

Jack
