Below are some links that I hope you will find helpful as well as some tips to get you started on the site.Start here: http://www.biggerpockets.com/starthereFind and connect with other BP members that are in your area: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meetCheck out the BP Podcast:http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/category/podcast/Definitely check out the beginner's guide and set up your keyword alerts like @Larry Fried suggested.Since you are from the Bay Area, I would also like to throw in a plug for an article by one of my favorite bloggers on the site, @Scott Trench about investing in expensive cities: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/03/07...If you are looking to build long term wealth but do not have much of a personal finance background, I suggest you check out the rest of his articles as well, they are great for 20 somethings.Last but not least, don't underestimate the power of participating in the forums!

I am a pretty big fan of Tampa REIA, Larry Harbolt's Monday night meeting and of course the Tampa Bay Real Estate Investing Meet Up that I host the first Sunday of every month at the Countryside library in Clearwater.

@Larry Turowski One of 9!  

I will call him Laundry Larry. 

Could you clear this up for me (as i Mentioned, extremly new)@Larry T.

Might call him Entitled Ed, as he's entitled to other people's time after they already addressed his concerns, he's just special.His brother is Lazy Larry, not only does he not put forth any effort to search for answers, he wants to be spoon fed information that is tailored to his opinions, often based on poor practices and information.Ed's cousin is Fluffing Fred, this guy has the same family traits but is puts out bad information puffing up his strategy, probably beyond what he has actually accomplished and has unethical and illegal aspects.
