Alex, Jesus has good advice there.
I'll be a little specific, and tell you one of the best starter books that i used when starting up, Bill Bronchick's book "Flipping Properties". There is an original, which I used before the revised one came out. it is a quick read, plus set up for easy reference you can use as a go-to source for info on a specific part of the process. However, as Jesus stated, relationships are super valuable so do not neglect building relationships with others in the business, or in related businesses, such as realtors, title companies, contractors or subcontractors etc.
Also, realize there are many strategies, as well as many ways to perform the various strategies so don't get locked into that there is only ONE 'right' way. However, there can be some 'wrong' ways that will get you into trouble. So do your research, then when it is time to act, make sure that you have trusted relationships that you can utilize to make sure you aren't 'living dangerously' or 'inviting trouble'!
Hope you can make the meetings soon!
Cindy
