Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Now I was hooked and instantly my research led me to biggerpockets where it seemed like I listened to Brandon talk for months straight without ever turning off the podcast.

Hi BP.I have been stalking the forums for a bit, reading books, listening to podcasts and educating myself over the past year.I am Danish and came to the US (SF/LA) for love - got divorced but stayed for the adventure.

Podcasts like Bigger PocketsBooks like Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner are great startersGet to some events and meetups to gather free info and meet folksLet me know if I can be resource for you! 

I would couple that will listening to Multifamily Podcasts (I especially enjoy Accelerated Investor with Josh Cantwell and Multifamily Insignths with John Casmon)  and you'll have a great foundation!

I would listen to a ton of podcasts, read books, and get started by find an investor agent who can connect you with a good lender that can fund your deal.
