After listening to countless podcasts, reading tons of books, and spending ~1 month analyzing deals, I feel like I'm ready to make my first move.

I do all of my own bookings and they are my boots on the ground (I'm in Colorado).

Homeowner stopped paying mortgage since they were asked for over $2000 per month going back a year ago, Can anyone guide me if anything can be done at this stage?

@Howard Chou - Unfortunately I am booked all weekend. 

There's a big difference between reading books, listening to podcasts repeatedly, asking for advice on this site where the responders don't have a truly vested interest and a mentor that you're paying that has an absolute interest in your success.  

@Matt Faircloth just wrote an amazing book on Raising Private Capital.

As for where to start, I would start by reading the BP forums, listen to BP podcast episodes and check out the beginner's guide here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investin...In my opinion, his methodology is helpful to people who have a lot of consumer debt (credit cards, personal loans, etc), but not all that applicable to real estate investors. 

We've also read several books on the topic, started familiarizing ourselves with the communities we plan to invest in, and calling to get more information on homes "for rent" and "for sale" in our area.

Also there are books you can download And podcasts.Once you feel like you’ve learned enough to make a smart first purchase, run it through the calculators to make sure it is. post the numbers and we can guide you.Also read books like rich dad,poor dad and The richest man in Babylon to really get a grasp on the fundamentals of money.Congratulations on your start!

There are many free resources like Ultimate Free Beginners Guide Many threads here talk about how to evaluate deals.
