By far "Best Ever Apartment Syndication Book" by Joe Fairless

@Kyle Bear Agree with Ali Boone, it depends on what kind of investing you are looking at.  I would suggest you educate yourself through books, podcasts, BP first to get an idea of the different niches and asset classes you can invest in.  Then select a market and make sure you visit the market to get a feel for it, purchasing sight unseen (like many turnkey investors do) is not a good idea.  In my opinion, turnkey is the least attractive option, you lose all of your equity on day 1 as the turnkey provider and others involved are taking that equity for themselves.  Best of luck!

@Joshua Ostberg I also think this is a great idea, the key is now finding people in your network that you can add value to with your skillset.  I would focus on joining a team who is focused on doing what you wish to be doing in the next few years so you can learn the exact skillsets needed.

This is great @Jason Graves!  Congrats!  I do not have children yet but when I do I will be following something very similar.

@Adi Jacob If I had to start all over I would do everything I could to surround myself with people who were at the highest level of what I wanted to do.  As they say, your network is your net worth.  Go to conferences, meetups, local events (in the niche you want to focus on) and meet as many people as you can and tell them your goals, vision and plan.  As you build your network you will have much better access to be able to build your company/business.  Real estate is a team sport so build your team up front.  Best of luck!

@Brandon Hicks . We use Quickbooks as well.  Anyone prefer desktop over online or vice versa?  If so, would love to know why.

@Nicholas Potocki I agree with @Ryan Luby, starting out by attending local meetups and REIA events are a great way to meet people just starting out on their journey, even better yet you can start a meetup of your own and attract these people to you. If you are looking for conferences for multifamily I have listed a few below to check out.

@Matthew Baltzell I would say mine was not providing feedback to brokers on properties they sent me when first starting out.  Brokers appreciate and value the feedback and it also allows you to build a strong relationship with them.  It pays to take the extra 5-10 minutes to provide feedback to brokers on why a property does not fit for you.

@Trevor Bragg I invest in Greater Phoenix but in larger MF. However, finding deals in a hot market works the same with most asset classes. There are several ways to find deals but you have to put the work in and be consistent. If I were you I would be building a list of every local agent/broker who sells smaller MF (find both SFR and MF brokers) and give them a call to start to build that relationship with them. You can use the MLS and Loopnet as well. Sign up for local real estate groups and attend their events and tell people what you are looking for. And most importantly drive the neighborhoods to get to know them and you will start to stumble across areas that you like and dislike. Good luck!
