Where Do I Start?!

I would start by reading some real estate book. Like Rich Dad Poor Dad series. especially the "Real Book in Real estate" by Robert Kiyosaki. Those book will get you pumped up and set your mind straight. Then save up some money for down payment, go out to local real estate meeting club and connect with a Realtor that is also an investor and go hunt for your 1st property.
At least that's how i started, and the wealth keeps on snow balling from then.
And remember. When it gets hard, don't quit! Consistent and Persistent will be your friends.
Good Luck!
