ADVICE: 23 Yr Old Saving up for another year then want to invest

[Zachary Eisner]

Hello all,

I am currently 23 years old and have a decent paying job. I have limited my expenses and hope to do so for the next 10-12 months. I have maxed my 401k, invested in my Roth IRA, and invested in index mutual funds.

I want to get into Real Estate in the next year and was wondering what are the best tools that I can use over the next year to learn about the industry.

For Example: What books do you recommend? What podcasts do you recommend? Is there a course where I can learn more? 

My end goal is to develop some passive income for myself and over time slowly own a couple of properties. Thanks so much and Happy 4th of July!!
