I have been reading about real estate since I was 15(now 35). I have always wanted to get into it myself, but have always been a little scared because I didn't have a mentor. I have finally realized now you must go out and work to find one if you are not lucky enough to have one already! I reccommend any and all of Robert Kiyosaki's books. I have read them all! People don't like Trump as president, but the man knows real estate. He has many good books. The 16% solution is a good one about tax liens. There are also countless others on foreclosures, REO's, general real estate, no money down, and on, and on... If you have no money to invest, the best way to start is wholesaling. Preston Ely is a guy you should check out. He made his riches in wholesaling and has a website here. Check those resources out, and of course do what stjoseph said also!
