I've been reading the Rich Dad series since I was 17 years old (I'm now 30), and have read articles here and there, watched a few videos, and even attended a Than Merrell 3-day workshop but backed out at the $50,000 price tag on their continued 'education'.

A couple I would recommend to start -Rich Dad Poor Dad/Robert Kiyosaki - This will help change your mindset a bitHow to Invest in Real Estate: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Getting Started/Brandon TurnerThe Book on Rental Property Investing/Brandon Turner I do need to say that research will not fully take away being nervous.

I have been listening to the BP Podcast (one a day), have been watching Graham Stephans videos, ordered The Snowball and Rich Dad Poor Dad (in mail) and been breaking down the podcast episodes with my mother.

For safe starters, I’d start south in the McKinely Park Bridgeport area(by Sox park and on the proverbial “come up”), then back up north west along the 90(if possible) through the humboldt park area (historically rich in Puerto Rican culture but on the path to gentrification) up to Jefferson Park.

I've also read a few books like "rich dad poor dad", "Why we want you to be rich", & "The richest man in Babylon".

If you want general overviews on how to grow, I still like Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.

@Steven Garrett what @Will Barnard has said is very true, meet as many people as you can but be very cautious of the "salesmen" who will have you sign up for a meeting and once as said meeting that they tell you about all the riches their "students" have made and YOU can too...if you sign up for their class that is 100 a month!

Read Rich Dad Poor Dad.
