Hi all - I'm new to real estate; I have yet to do any deals but have done research for about 6-8 months now. This has consisted of tons of webinars, reading books and articles, attending meetings and joining my local REIA. I've come across tons of coaching opportunities but nothing that I could easily afford, and still maintain my safety net for other expenses.

I'm looking to start with wholesaling, and eventually include fix & flips and acquire rental properties. However, my issue has been finding that foundation to start the process. What do I need to have in place in order to get working on making some things happen?

Ive came across a lot of mixed input regarding:

• Getting a real estate license or not

• Legal and CPA issues? Having these things in place beforehand?

• Proper paper work

My questions do reach beyond these topics but I'm trying to not make this out to be super long. Any help is appreciated! 

@David Seaman I am new as well, meaning I have yet to acquire or flip any property yet. I've recently joined our local REIA and I would say it is almost a must for getting started. Mentoring is offered through the association(most of them time), companies like Fortune Builders or Rich Dad are crazy expensive but provide every aspect to you, or you can go the route of finding investors to mentor you individually.
