I stumbled upon this forum as I was browsing the net looking for like minded and useful research in learning more about real estate.

I have fairly similar goals to you, and have found the site to be extremely useful for asking questions and browsing posts by some very knowledgeable people.

I searched many posts and browsed around and I could not find anything posted recently that discusses  "Texas and setting up a business entity in a good manner"  and how to find a mentor to help walk me through the process.A little about me: I am not knew to real estate or real estate deals. 

Which websites do you spend the most of your time browsing?

Here are some things to keep you busy:-Listen to biggerpockets podcasts every day (there are like 10+ years worth of awesome podcasts uploaded)-Browse around the forums here and read posts that have questions similar to what questions you have-Watch/Read the news to understand what is going on with the overall economy, interest rates, inflation, housing, etc-Start looking at houses on Zillow every day just to get a feel for pricing, finishes, days on market, etc-Pick an area that you would like to buy your first deal.

. #2 - Browse the Missouri Division of Professional Registration web site and determine what you want to do, as in investor or broker/salesperson#3 - Regardless of your RE strategy, focus on knowing the Missouri real estate basics, because knowing the legal foundation is paramount to any RE activity you pursue. 

But a consolidated place where an investor can just browse deals, view specs, etc.

I've been browsing bigger pockets for a few years now but never actually started posting until now.I'm 27 years old from Tiffin, OH. 

UPDATE: I went browsing today after work and met with four lenders, the first two did not do HELOCs excluding primary residences but they forwarded me to the other two one being a local credit union - which did non owner occupied HELOCs but on a 5 year basis at 1.0% above prime, 1 point at closing, and 80% LTV.

I'd start by browsing around some of the forums/blog posts.
