There is a lot to this question and I can’t really answer it unless you get a lot more specific with what you want to learn.

I have a license purely to help me as an investor. But here is how I would start, if I was trying to start out at Real Estate:
1. Get your license and get in with an office so that you can get MLS access. In this market your probably want to work for a large(ish) REO office as a “Buyer’s Agent.”
2. Start identifying properties that seem like good investments an go preview them yourself. Do this for a while, until you get a feel for what is a good deal and what isn’t. Work the pre-listing in your office hard, you have an inside track on those.
3. In tandem, go the REI clubs and start building investor connections. Offer to list investor owned properties for a discount and talk about some of the deal you’ve been looking at. See what they’re interested in and build a buyers list.
4. You can also search for cash sales in the area. This will give you an idea of the type of properties investors are buying in your area.
5. After you have a feel for the local market, once a good deal pops up, call your buyers list and see if you can show them. If no luck, post it on CraigsList with vFlyer:
“3/2 Cash Investor Deal” have a picture of the property. Take people to see it and see if you can sell it.
When you get a call write their name and add them to your list. After a while you should have a decent database.
Other Comments:
1. Call listing agents and offer to have an open house in their property. I have let selling agents do this in my properties before. No many investors, but it keeps you busy and you get connections.
2. Read the “Millionaire Real Estate Agent” by Gary Keller. I just finished it, it is a great book.
3. Expect not to make money for 6-12 months…
