Matthew, 

Welcome to BP, the best advice I can give is:

Keep reading RE books.

Start going to REIA meetings and meet other investors around you, you might find a mentor as well.

If you are ready to invest, house hack!

Start tracking the market you want to invest in now, to know what is a good deal looks like and what's overpriced. 

Find a RE agent that understands an investors mindset. 

Best of luck,

Joe
