What are the basics for beginning to understand real estate?

katy asked:


I’m purchasing my own home and in about 4 or 5 years I hope to be able to purchase one or two more – and grow from there.

What do I need to know to begin a real estate career? Is it better to rent houses out OR try to sell them for a profit?

What are some of the best resources (especially online) for real estate beginners?
