Question for about real estate for nerds and non-nerds alike.

[mrbunbun]

So -- hypothetically speaking if I wanted to buy a house -- where would I start? I have NO idea what things like mortages and equity and capital gains mean. If I wanted to invest in real estate, what sources are good places to start? I don't want to waste time studying a book and then realizing it's no longer current or just bad advice. Thanks

those resources are more for buying a home as residence. if you're looking for an investment property, i'm sure much of it would apply still but there are probably other considerations and more appropriate resources out there.
