Hi Gregory,
There are a wealth of companies offering courses and services for property investors. Unfortunately many of them are not that good. Seek advice from someone who has attended before paying any money for property education, as more often than not it can be sourced for free.
The moneylender.co.uk offer a free buy-to-let guide which sets out the basics. You've already started on the best way to get specific information - the Internet. It always takes a little bit of filtering out but everything you need to know is there. Forums like this are great for getting responses to specific queries. I can point you to loads of websites if there's anything in particular you're researching.
A little obvious, but the three key areas for me:
a) A decent mortgage - there are some very clever ways to structure the purchase of property. A sound broker is a must. b) Rentability - all too often 'to let' signs stay outside properties for far too long. c) Tax - being tax efficient can save you a great deal.
Good luck
Mitchell
