Welcome. 

Check out the Start Here page http://www.biggerpockets.com/starthere

Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers). Find them through Google and meetup.com

Two Great reads, I bought both J. Scott The Book on Flipping Houses, The Book on Estimating ReHab Costs http://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook

Have a buddy who walks a targeted neighborhood door knocking on doors speaking to residents on behalf of the local politician. He works in the conversation that he has people looking to buy in the area. He offers a referral fee.

Good Luck
