1. Read, read, read.
2. Figure out what you want to do (house flipping, rentals, multi-family, wholesaling, lease options, notes, commercial, etc)
3. Read, read, read about that specialty
4. Put together a basic plan
5. Start executing on your plan
In addition, here are some other things to do when getting started:
- Join your local Real Estate Investors Association (REIA) and start networking
- Ask some local investors to lunch (you pay) and be prepared with some good questions
- Find a local investor who you can volunteer to do some work for
