How does one begin the process of becoming a real estate investor/landlord?

I began reading Biggerpockets.com and got interested. Went to Barnes and Noble and bought a $20 book and did more research online. That is how I got started.

Someone commented you don't find investment deals on the mls. Where do you look for them?

Through Biggerpockets, I met a guy who does REI on the side but has his license. I told him what I was interested in and he got to work. He does use MLS but knows exactly what we are looking for and our price points are. He is my age but has definitely been like a mentor to me, as he knows the market very well and can give me buying/renting/pricing information off the top of his head. I have also joined a local REI club that meets once a month to discuss the marktet and other investors successes/failures.

I am very green in real estate investing and there are plenty of people on here more knowledgeable than me but there is a ton of cheap readily available information out there if you look.
