I would also recommend the Ultimate Beginners Guide and the BP podcasts to get started.

If anyone from Washington State is reading this forum, the state has a good beginners guide to starting a business.http://bls.dor.wa.gov/startbusiness.aspx

I would recommend starting off with the BP podcasts and the Ultimate Beginners Guide.

San Antonio is a good city for a beginner investor.  

I’ve since devoured The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide, Investing in Real Estate With No or Low Money Down, Millionaire Real Estate Investor, FLIP, et al.

If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing and don't forget to set up your Keyword Alerts!

I think a great way to begin using BP is to read the Bigger Pockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing as Josh and Brandon did a great job with it.
