@Marsha Kay OwenWelcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing.

I wrote this article a few months ago and it was featured on BP, here is the link in case you're interested: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/11360/83794-how-we-purchased-our-first-3-rental-properties-out-of-state-in-1-year

I wrote a blog on the subject to save my fingers from blisters b/c people ask about SEC 8 on here so much.

Take a look at this blog article.

Check out my Blog. https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/12388-abandoned-property-adventure-on-wildsideIn defense of my idea, many jurisdictions such as where I live, Thurston Co.

I been looking through the blog post and I am so impressed with this community (reddit watch out!)

I wrote a blog about how the housing authority determines the rent and how you can ensure you get as much as you can.

Read the Forum posts, read the Blogs, listen to podcasts, YouTube, and spend a little time just soaking up knowledge and other peoples' experience (and mistakes).Commit to studying a little every day and I assure you that in no time, by the end of this month, you will know a lot more than you do know and feel much more confident.Then you take your first step by asking yourself, what type of real estate investing do you want to start with? 

Also, I wrote a blog on our website on the ins and outs of CHA that you can check out(they wont let me link here but I will PM it to you).
