I started my investing journey learning from BiggerPockets Forum as you are doing so I am always willing to help the action takers. 

And A LOT of learning lessons.

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking and is full of great content.I recommend that you check out the following resources:1.

Lastly, network with local investors and continue learning to refine your strategies.Good luck!

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

Knowing what you are capable of and/or having proper resources can lead to great deals in any market.   

@Daniel Baker I would say a lot of it is based on their training or their resources that they utilize to complete your taxes.

If you want to be mentored your best bet is to go work for a company - most CRE is not a single individual and CRE is fast moving and things happen fast and you can't structure a "follow me to learn" without working for someone 

Quote from @Brian Clark: Looking to network in Southern Maine to learn and share about long term rental properties. 

But since you are new and learning, don't decide on what it has to be.
