Where do I start? Athens area
I have no experience in real estate investing, but am digging into all of the books, podcasts, and forum posts that I can. That said, I do my best learning watching it all go down. I'm in the Athens area so Atlanta is a bit of a stretch to me, but I'd love to attend some meetings to listen/learn from others if anyone can point me in the right direction - especially the Athens area, as any "groups" I've found are no longer very active. I don't know anyone in the business personally. What should be my next step? How much money do I need to save up to begin at all?
Thanks for your help.

Hey Emily,
There actually is an Athens meetup that is still active. It is hosted by @Georgui Kasaev and meets the last Thursday of every month at 6:30 at Allgood lounge. There was a pretty good attendance last Thursday. Hope to see you there.
