Hello Christopher Wilbur, just quick hello and welcome; I'm a new member myself, although I don't have any "words of wisdom" at this time; I have begun my REI education with the the BP's "Ultimate Beginners guide to Real Estate Investing" and would recommend reading this as one of your first steps... its a quick easy read with a truck load of information; and has many links to follow up on for additional reading in areas of interest...
