I detail a lot of this in my podcast I have been hosting for 7 years called The Investors Guide to Memphis Real Estate. 

From that point on, I was always looking at Zillow and Trulia just for the pure enjoyment it brought me.One gloomy day when I was 16, I was cleaning around the house when I stumbled across the Master Passive Income Podcast by Dustin Heiner.

You probably need to start from the very beginning reading books and listening to podcasts. 

Go to real estate investing meetups in your area, get to know local investors, read books and listen to podcasts together to figure out what you think you want to do the most and what will benefit you, depending on where you live, the most.

@Dan Hertler the podcast shows repeatedly talk about fixing those kinds of things from the beginning, otherwise something will always be breaking down and a 5k HVAC sets your cash flow back for a long time.

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).

I have listened to a lot of the BiggerPockets podcasts, and I just cannot figure out the best avenue for me to begin with on my journey into real estate investing. 

Just listened to a podcast where the speaker talks about monthly cashflow of $5K to $10K!!!!

I have been studying for the past six months by reading books and listening to podcasts, and exploring the site's flow and insights. 

As you read these books, watch the BiggerPockets podcasts.
