Turning vacant properties into money makers

[Rodney Dixon]

My name is Rodney Dixon and I'm a novice real estate investor. I've been locating properties in my city Tampa, FL for a month now and have a list of vacant properties that I want to invest in and turn them into rental properties. However, I have no idea where to start! I don't own a real estate investment company nor do I have any credit. Am I still able to turn my vision into reality?

IF SO, please give me step-by-step for doing so.
