This is a great website/blog/podcast that has helped in my investing education!

Bigger Pockets forms, blogs, books, and podcasts have been my primary source of information, and I've enjoyed every minute of it while learning a lot. 

The blogs, podcasts, and articles are a wealth of knowledge to accelerate your knowledge of real estate investing.
