I would reccomend reading info from this site, pick one way and stick with learning it daily.

Would any agents/brokers care to cover their daily routines?

The "Miracle Morning Routine" Daily Journal (aka. 7-Step Morning Routine) (Morning Miracle Routine - Journals) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NF337BM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_i_JgqZFbD5A083J

I currently work as an engineer and enjoy the challenges it presents on a daily basis.

I have a burning desire to run screaming from the corporate world, and a daily growing passion for investing in my own future and self worth.I want to focus on the buy-and-hold strategy in multifamily homes to gain simultaneous skills in management, business, and construction.

So are you planning on a freight elevator and a passenger elevator? 

Welcome to REI I suggest read books, or eat them up as audio, my favorite to do.recommended books I taken in are:Rich Dad Poor DadMillionaire Real Estate AgentMillionaire Real Estate Investor10x Rule4 hour work weekThe E myth for Real Estate Investingand all the podcast you can breath into from BP.go and like the entrepreneur.com page on facebook also success magazine and read articles daily they post, usually are 5 to 10 minutes read.good luck, #keepthehustle #lifeisworthliving #notdreamingitsreality 

If you don't find something in your area, expand your search and talk to more realtors and other BP investors in those areasYou will need to form an LLC (minimal start up costs and just my suggestion but it would be smart to talk to a local RE attorney...I'm not an expert)Talk to a handful of lenders in the areas you are looking to do business and get pre-approved; this will give you more of an idea of how to further narrow down the top of the funnel as you prospect propertiesFind a realtor in the area and explain what you are doing; get signed up for automated daily emails with the criteria on the properties you are selectingAnalyze, analyze, analyze - create an easy way to figure out if each property meets your hurdle rate, cash on cash returnMy partners and I analyze at least 5 properties each every day.

I choose to do a daily real estate investing podcast and have raised over $800,000 just from people I've met by doing that for my multifamily deals. 

I do think management is a great entry point into real estate, lots to learn in the daily management!
