Hi all, and thanks for reading this newbie post. I'm here to learn from all of you as I start down this path of investing so let me give you a little background about me. I have owned my own home in the past and I did invest in a rental property, with no experience of course and I sold that property. Now I want to buy and invest wisely this time around, I'm not in my 20's or 30's so I don't have a lot of time to waist in learning stuff that are for the pros if I'm just a newbie right now. What I need to know is what should newbies learn first. What should be the primary objective of a newbie investor for the first 6 months. There are a lot of videos, books, webinars, seminars and materials with a lot of information in them but it can be quite overwhelming for a newbie. I need a plan what to do and where to start in other words what should be my focus if I want to buy another home but have it as an investment property as well. Should I think about a duplex or a fourplex as a newbie investor. Of course I want to do the fourplex first because of the income, but should that be something for a newbie to do without enough experience or education?
