Have you already downloaded the Ultimate Beginner's Guide here https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investing?

Download the Google Voice app to your phone.

I also just downloaded a bunch of podcasts so I can listen to them while doing my day job.I've read The Ultimate Beginner's guide and I'm going to look it over again for a little extra help (since you mentioned it) & see what I can pull from that as well.

Check out the“Learn tab above” and download a freecopy of “The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing”.

If you're a pro member you can download them from the file place.

Have you already downloaded the Beginner's Guide, it would be a good book to start here.

Also, it’s in the same format for every county so it takes the mystery and difficulty out of scrubbing the data once you download it.

I have also downloaded a free book and there will be many more as the days progress.

@Christian Bors Thanks, already downloaded and ready for the morning trip to work. 

If you're going to use Gmail and have an iPhone/iPad, download their app instead of using the built-in mail, I like it better (also can try Google Inbox).I have my Google Calendar synced to my iPhone's calendar, and Google Contacts synced to my phone as well, so looking up people's contact details is a breeze.And finally, I now do all of my property analysis, projections, comparison on my phone.
