I'm sure you've already seen all of the resources on this site, but I'd recommend reading through The Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing.

Make sure you take a look at the Ultimate Beginners Guide to REI from BP (https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/02/19/ultimate-beginners-guide-to-real-estate-investing), narrow down what you want to do in your investing career and check out the forums, set up keyword alerts, and listen to the podcasts.

On here I'd recommend that you set up keyword alerts, catch up on blogs/podcasts, and read through The Ultimate Beginner's Guide.
