Whether you spend time networking, reading books, watching videos or connecting on bigger pockets or if you spend cash hiring a mentor, maybe partnering up with or doing free intern work for a real estate investor; whichever route you decide to go investing in yourself is one of the best investments you can make.

Overall the best way to start learning is listening to podcasts and reading books.

The property ended up being his book keeper's home that she had rented out and was needing to sell.
