I'm planning on using REI as my first vehicle into the fast lane. I understand that many people believe this is the easiest and surest way to financial freedom. Yet the more I read, the more I find some people saying this is a sure fire way to get yourself into debt with today's market. Are these just people who don't understand the market or "haters" on the other competition entering the market? I've began reading some books and am looking at Robert Allens "Nothing Down" as a next read. My questions are as follows:

1. what avenues do the professionals/experts recommend for a beginning investor to take?
2. I'm assuming start small with residential properties, correct?
3. Do you recommend foreclosures/pre-foreclosures, rental properties, or repair and flip?
4. Are their any books/web sites or other resources you recommend?
