I know I need to re-read some of the books, etc. but advice will be greatly appreciated! 

Fixer Jay DeCima discusses this in his book on "Investing in Fixer-Uppers"

Hey Columbus Investors,After months of educating ourselves, reading books, listening to podcasts and researching we finally took the plunge into real estate investing!

I would suggest start by reading the Ultimate Beginners Guide that's available through BP to get an idea of where to start as far as why you want to invest, as well as what you want to invest in.

-Ray Alcorn's: Deal Maker's Guide (This was authored in 2005, is it too dated or still have plenty of relevant content?)
