@Robert Lum  you bet you can troll around a site like BP read their books listen to the pod cast of those that are successful and talk about their business's.. its inspiring and motivational.but if you really want to learn the nuts and bolts you need to get in the game.the best and least expensive way to do that is to simply take a pre license course in your state.. learn the laws ( the real laws not the BS that is talk about on line).. terminology etc. then go to work with a brokerage in the aspect of Real estate that interest  you.. there you will get REAL training by those that are successful you get on a team.. you get paid as you learn.

If you can hold off for 2-3 years to save more and build a solid emergency fund, it may give you greater financial flexibility when you’re ready to buy.If buying now feels too risky, consider renting for a while to gain privacy without the long-term commitment of a mortgage.
