So pick a school, study and pass your state exam.

I was wondering what books or knowledge sources can assist me in learning more about real estate.

I've been a member  of biggerpockets for about 5 years and have studied full time learning alot there, reading books, because I had a few years to do that 7 days a week because of the medical problems I had.That being said let me inform you that wholesaling is harder than it looks, it has much competition, and you have to learn how to tell lies or keep things to yourself so the Owner does not know what you are really doing. 

There are some loan programs and down-payment assistance programs that might help you lower the 3.5% down. 

Hi all,Context:I've been using a Property Management company that I loved for a while.They were pretty independent and was just able to do manage without much of my intervention.But probably 6 months ago, they've switched to using Virtual Assistants and they are now fairly incompetent; instead of making their own decisions, they're asking me for every little thing.

@Rodolfo Canon I got shut down by his assistant.

I’m studying to become a Doctor of Occupational Therapy, but have always been interested in real estate as a side gig.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  

If I were you I'd go on airbnb and study folks in your market.

We wanted to put our daughter's name on the title along with ours, so we waited to close until just after she turned 18 and was legally able to sign paperwork, closing in February.With help from our Michigan-based contractor, who lived in the house while working on it, we converted the 1st floor back to residential use, adding a large 6th bedroom with walk-in closet, another full bathroom, a study room, and a living room, and made a myriad of small improvements.
