If you must, get video because with video someone can slowly pan across and capture almost every surface.

Any tips, videos or ideas anyone could suggest to help us make our first move possibly a step towards investing in real estate? 

I find short videos are the best way. 

So far it's been great, I was very nervous at first but I found great info in the forums and youtube videos that helped me take the first steps.

Check out Simon Sinek’s video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

I guess people need to make notes  and read books and  see Youtube videos and then target a  few markets and then use zillow  etc to see long term appreciation etc and then formulate who they want to team up with to start the journey..
