I recommend sticking to this site and learning  as much as you can in the meantime.

This has allowed us to save up lots of cash, learn all we can in the process and we're closing on our first rental in about four hours!

Check out the podcast & read as much as you can in the blogs & forums.Now, my two cents worth.  

You also have huge tax benefits because you deduct the mortgage interest from your rental income and can in some cases have a "net loss" that can reduce your employment based taxes...I'm now in the process of a REFI on one condo to pull out money to purchase the next. 

There is usually a long story behind a lien... since it costs money to everyone.My recommendation is to obtain and record everything you can in writing or emails if you get targeted by the HOA.

If anyone knows of anybody out here that would be willing to let me tag along with them, and help them out in any way I can, in exchange for knowledge and experience, that would be very much appreciated.

Was it a group where an non accredited investor can participate like they can in LU?

Id recommend you start reading Brandon Turner's Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing, listening to all the podcasts, reading the blogs and guides, and engaging on the forums when you can. In
