I consume loads of information now: podcasts, books, blogs.

@Oles Street A good way would be to learn about what you want to do first by reading books and listening to podcasts, and networking with experienced investors. 

Once you are established and can start using your equity it can snowball but, it takes time and lots of building.Read everything you can on BP and look for some good Real Estate books. 

Since I spend a lot of time in traffic, I have had plenty of time to listen to audio books, and one that has really inspired me is David Greene's "Long Distance Real-Estate Investing".Hoping to hear from others who have invested out-of-state without going the turnkey route, others who invest in Columbus, or anyone else who would like to network or share experiences! 

So many of the books and podcasts say to get outside your comfort zone.I’m making about 5.5k a month.

I started reading from real estate books (Rich Dad, Poor Dad, etc), but honestly couldn't focus enough with all that was going on and decided to focus on my health.  

So I'll add here that you're better off starting by reading multi-family books (including two of David Lindahl), listening to podcasts, asking questions on BP, networking.)

Would anyone have any good Investor/Entrepreneur book recommendations? 

My short term goal is to learn as much as possible through books, BP site/members, and BP podcasts that I listen to everyday.
