Also browse your local market online and by driving around to learn about neighborhoods, home values, etc.

@Michael Malloy Here is how I did it and hopefully it helps you make the jump as well.First, I took  a little bit of time to educate myself by reading books and browsing forums.

For our listings, we have an amazing photographer which really makes us jump off the page when guests are browsing (we are the best photographed units in our).

Also, I've got a real estate browsing habit and I love houses.

They have a great forum that is free to browse and learn from.

Commercial properties move slower and those brokers aren't touring their clients around to browse properties in the way that homebuyers do. 

That could be OK, because they stay on my site click around browse pages and google rewards me for this.But facebook or twitter.. is horrible because if you attract the wrong traffic, people bounce and google will think your site sucks monkeyballz, and guess who will go down in ranks.That is why you want organic traffic from the right keywords.Look at my average time on page.I heard that the average time on page for investors websites is about 45 seconds.

I simply browse the property transfer section and take note of those that are selling real estate at reduced prices.

My name is Tyler and I've been browsing the BiggerPockets forums and listening to the podcasts for some time now and finally ready to start investing!

I've started browsing on Zillow and websites like that, I'm reading books like "What every real estate investor needs to know about cashflow", and listening to the bigger pockets podcasts.
