They teach you to pass the test and how to keep your business legal.You'll learn more once you pick a brokerage and start working.

. :)Here's the guideline direct from fanniemae.com, though you'd of course be best served by finding a lender that you don't have to teach how to to their job.

There are great books out there that teach you how to do this.While you learn to handle your personal finances, get on BP and read as much as you can.  

You can do that by:1. read books2. read blogs on BP (I have a blog here as well, though more focused on passive investors in syndications)3. go to conferences or attend workshops that teach how to invest in multifamily (stay away from the glorified sale events)The reason why brokers don't return you call is probably because they "sense" that you are making you first steps and don't know if you are a "closer" so they try to spend time on buyers with high likelihood of closing.

I guarantee you that will teach you more.  

I feel like I need to teach myself more before I put money into this

If anyone wanted to teach me how to find deals, though, I would gladly go to work in search of them! 

I'd be happy to refer you to a really good realtor that's been working in Nashville for over 20 years and he teaches other realtors.

Can you teach me why this house is not so attractive to investors?
