n00bie here; opportunity check

[Jason Robinson]

I'm interested in REI as a long-term passive income for my family. (Computer nerd by day) I'm located in Northwest Arkansas and have lived in the area my entire life. I was raised by a tradesman; have seen some construction projects ran and I'm familiar with contractors in my area. I have an opportunity to purchase a home and I would like to check the opportunity with an experienced investor to see if my thoughts/approach is correct. My goal for the property would be to renovate and rent.

Where is the best place to bounce this information on the forums? There is a ton of information on here and I'm trying to be methodical in my approach to absorb as much information as efficiently as possible. 

Thanks in advance!
