All the tools you need are all around you.

Using any of the tools under the "education" tab at the top of this page?

@Caroline Gerardo @Rod Hanks Thank you for your valuable input.

One valuable tip I’ve already realized is the higher-than-expected property tax on investment properties in the Indianapolis area, referenced by @Victor Tatyanin in a recent post (I was quite disappointed by this, but of course this is vitally important information!)

This is much more valuable.

If you have someone as a joint borrower on your loans because of their W2, but put no money into the deal or do anything else, how much is it worth (it's definitely valuable, how valuable is for you to decide)?

This is a major tool used by developers in the Bay Area to get more units and boost the cash flow even higher.

The line of credit is a business tool for you to use on your investing journey.Also, make sure you diversify your types of credit. 

I have been learning, researching, purchasing tools, networking etc but I feel like my heads been spinning on where to get started.

I buy a lot of tools, trucks, etc..
