This is just a tip, select a market you want to invest in, call it your nitch. Zipcodes could make it easier to remember especially if it's out of state. 
Start window shopping in the price range you looking for, by setting alerts on the MLS. Go to realtor.com or zillow.com and save the properties in your favorite this way you get daily or weekly alerts for what properties are available and if your price range is realistic or what are their conditions.

Find ways to finance now. If you have money save, borrowing from your 401k, friends or family or even your credit cards, but just be realistic with yourself if you can handle it.

After your window shopping you will get a fair idea of the market prices in your location and at time on realtor.com you see in the neighborhood section what other house are selling around the location. 

The rest of everything is all up to you taking the leap of faith, being determined to get it done during the process and being consistent. Seek advice when necessary. Always but title insurance and casualty insurance to protect yourself and your asset. 

Best of Luck.
