Or maybe they sell you a low cost online trainging that comes to you in segments over a few days or few weeks.From this 1, 2, or 3 day training the guru then offers you a complete home study system and maybe a bootcamp where you go through the home study system and at the bootcamp dig in deeper into the aspects that are  bit tougher to wrap your head around.At the bootcamp, some guru's take it a step further and offer you mentoring, often times that comes with weekly group coaching calls, access to all the tools, contacts and system that they use and often offering to bring you one of three things:  buyers for deals, deals for you to buy or partner on and funding. 

Find a mentor or a local investor to work with that doesn't mind looking over your shoulder, or read the wealth of information that is available on here. 

So education is primary, having a mentor if you can find or afford one isn't a bad second step.

In the meantime, I'd be milking that free living while reading as much as possible about investment and finance, I'd be networking with local investors and getting coached via BP and mentors on developing a business plan and investment strategy, and I'd be saving every dollar possible for my eventual first purchase.

Your best bet is to find a mentor who expects nothing in return.

I would love to meet a mentor, that would be happy to help me out and walk me through it patiently.

One of my mentors informed me to do the following: In the evening, research and identify who you need to call by market (brokers, property management, insurance agents, etc) and during lunch call them to build rapport. 

Having a few mentors that have been down this road would make me feel at ease and educate me to work around mistake they made and things they would do different.Current equity @ $100,000.00My goals are;-own rental property-still would like to flip to keep the cash flow positive-invest into higher end commercial rental property/ apartment complexesThanks,Brandon 

I would love to find a mentor to learn the business, and learn the best strategies to begin the process in this business.

Please talk to a mentor or an accountant.
