I'm reading books and listening to podcasts and such but having someone I can shadow is a more valuable educational experience.

Been a listener of Bigger Pockets for while!

I would recommend spending your morning commute listening to BP podcast or BP daily podcasts for microlearning, grab a BP book that piques your interest and read a bit every night before bed.

I have been listening to the Bigger Pockets podcast for years ever since I was in High school I have read a few of the classic real estate books.

I listen to all of the Webinars that Airbnb invites me to. 

I'm not sure if you listen consistently to BP podcast, they actually just released an episode that would probably be useful! 

As long as you listen to your insurance company's regulations as well as your local ordinances you should be fine. 

The plan is to purchase a residential multifamily in the New Orleans or Baton Rouge area using a FHA loan.I'm currently in the research phase, listening to hours of Bigger Pockets podcasts and reading Real Estate Investing by Brandon Turner.

Why don't you take a few months and attend a few of the BiggerPockets webinars hosted by Brandon, listen to some of the podcasts, and read a few of the recommended books.

I couldn't attend, but figured it'd be similar to the last listening session.
