I am starting to do a video blog for something to look back on and keep me motivated.  

There is a video tour https://www.youtube.com/watch?

I recommend you watch all of the free youtube videos from 'Thetaxsaleacademy.com".  

I stumbled onto BP while listening to random Youtube Videos on the basics and tips of rental real estate investing.I am interested in long-long-term buy and hold rental properties.

Listen while your at the gym, playing video games, mowing the lawn, whatever.

Experience in marketing and video production, which could certainly be put to use in a real estate business. 

Equity in your home might count, retirement accounts are another source of reserve money, but since you would be penalized for taking an early withdrawal the usable amount is less.That's just my 2c, I am sure others will be able to tell you what worked for them!

And don't bet on any experts making podcasts or Youtube videos :)

I had one guy (on here) who sent me videos of him in his "financing empire" high-rise office overlooking the city, videos of him and a semi-toothless friend trying to pet a horse, and videos of him touting his "handywoman" as he walked through a gutted home that needed major remodeling.  

There is also a video that Brandon uploaded and he says he looks more importantly for cash flow than ROI.
