I did a few searches and Google and found Bigger Pockets, and I'm a big fan already.I really like the hands-on idea of real estate investing, and after reading some books and listening to a bunch of Bigger Pockets podcasts I think I'd like to tackle the 'buy and hold' strategy and become a landlord.I'm really excited about this, although I'm a bit nervous--especially since the housing market here on the central coast is a bit steep, so I'm not sure how exactly I'm going to make this work and if I'm going to invest locally.I'm looking forward to learning more, connecting with people, and beginning to build my real estate investments.

I'd check Craigslist, rentometer, realtor.com and any other site that comes up when you google this subject.
