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). 

We have no real experience in real estate but have enjoyed learning from the Biggerpockets podcasts and I have read several of the books published by the blog. 

I recommend that you attend local REI groups and participate in local (Cincinnati) forums by asking questions and helping others find useful resources like blogs, books, etc. that you've found helpful.

Here're a few articles that will give you additional guidance about MFH investing:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/10-things-investors-should-know-before-jumping-into-multifamily-housinghttps://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/10850/87253-should-i-scale-my-investment-from-single-family-homes-to-multifamily

To say the amount of real estate info I have processed over the last month (through books, blogs, articles, and this site) has been overwhelming and intimidating is an understatement.

These resources should be helpful. https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/how-to-estimate-rehab-costshttps://www.biggerpockets.com/store/estimating-rehab-costs-ultimate

All of their episodes thus far have encouraged posting on their forums so i hope this is the right area (despite being 26, i'm awful with message boards/blogs/forums etc) for this sort of post. 

My blog has example and happy to answer questions.
