A couple of things I'd suggest to check out are these resources:1.http://www.biggerpockets.com/starthere2.http://www.biggerpockets.com/files3.The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate InvestingThey are really great places to get immersed in the benefits and tools of this community!

Your profession should be a source of all the private money you will need.Check out the Start Here page http://www.biggerpockets.com/starthereCheck out BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide - A fantastic free book that walks through many of the key topics of real estate investing.Check out the free BiggerPockets Podcast - A weekly podcast with interviews and a ton of great advice.

Orlando Buyers Guide, Beginners Guide to Owning a Rental Property, Ten Mistakes to Avoid etc.It is not cheap unfortunately, we pay $8000 per year for it (there are free trials).

If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing and The BiggerPockets Podcast.

You will just have to make up for it with one post that gets many votes because of it's usefulness and insightfulness.Although, I think some "door prize" type thing for the millionth post would be kind of cool; A guest spot on the podcast, A free copy of the BP Ultimate Beginner's Guide, A personal phone call from @Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner, etc.
