Read books on investing in real estate, listen to the podcasts, attend webinars and stay active on the forums while connecting with other investors in your area and pick a niche.

I plan to host Cars & Coffee type events as well.Charleston while not necessarily known for a huge car scene has a very active C&C event and is right up the road from the Kiawah Concours held annually.

And you get the benefit of having over 100 past ones to catch up on.Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.
