Post: Trying to do this right, but it is very hard

There are so many different ways to attack REI and it becomes very discouraging. This site helps so much, but it can even be overwhelming for a newbie like myself to even know where to start. I don't really have anyone to guide me in this process so I am extremely nervous. REI is expensive and I don't know where or how to start the process to put myself in the position to get a property. I am in the Norfolk/VA BEACH area and I really want to get started in this REI process, but I am so lost. There are so many questions I have like how do I know its a good deal, what should I be asking the seller/agent, if its a short sale is that more difficult than just regular buying and fixing up? There is a property here in the Norfolk area that my agent told me was a steal. Its a triplex and already has tenants who don't want to leave. It is a short sale, and the seller is asking 118K, but even if I say 90k I still think that's high for my first property and how in the world do I even acquire this property or know what in the world I'm talking about or listening for? Any and all help is sooooo appreciated!

Hello!!!! My name is Antonia Willis and I am currently Active Duty Navy stationed in the Norfolk, VA area. I have been in for 11yrs and I truly enjoy what I do.

As far as the investment property business is concerned, I have one rental property which is the first house I bought and ended up changing duty stations and renting it out.  I had no property manager, so it was VERY difficult because my tenants did not want to cooperate properly.  But I still want to and have decided to pursue my business in becoming well versed in Investment Properties.  

I am currently correcting my credit and looking into properties here to invest in.  I have found quite a few diamonds in the ruff and possible tenants, I just don't want to move to fast or too slow and get in over my head on either side.  Either way, I am excited to network and gain tons of information from you experts and bug you until I become as great as you!!!
