Newbie to real estate, at least for investment purposes (wife and I live in a single family home we bought last year). I've always wanted to dig into real estate investing for cash flow purposes, but the risk averse side of me always shied away from the challenge/doing the research. Any good tips/resources to study/utilize for a newbie like myself looking to learn as much as I can? Thanks in advance!

Very few entry level jobs when I graduated and now can only get jobs in the stuff I don’t want to do anymore.

I have so many things that I want in a house.
