My particular area of interest is in rental home properties - what are some good resources for getting more information about this sector of the real estate investing market?

If anyone has any other resources to suggest, I am an avid reader.

@Earl Jornales, Welcome to BP, this is a wonderful site with the resources that you'll need to get started in real estate investing.

Then there are all the newbies who may have a good heart, but got told they could make money in real estate with no money down, and just don't have the experience or resources to really do it right. 

The ultimate guide to real estate investing is a wonderful resource for you.

If you have enough other resources to cover any issues which may arise, then weigh that against what it would take to get the rents up to market level or higher.2.

I hope this becomes as useful a resource for you as it has for me already. 

But with a family, full-time job and helping my wife start her own business I don't have the other required resource for investing - time.

Your profession should be the source of all the private money you will need.Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.

Or, do you know of any reliable resources I may be able to go to or contact for some of the data I am seeking.
