I'm not sure how accurate Zillow's estimates are, but it says $800

I have a friend that's in the military.  Him and his spouse are trying to sell their house while both stationed elsewhere.  When I last spoke with him, he said that they're just trying to break even.  It's a 2/1 BR/B 1,100 sq ft, and they're asking $69,900.  I'm trying to decide if I could buy and hold, and live there myself or try to rent.  OR something else that I heard about was some kind of contract where I can basically sell something similar to an options contract on it and maybe make a few grand.  I'm relatively new to all of this so I'm trying to jump in and take action (without shooting myself in the foot).  Any comments, questions, suggestions, concerns, or emotional outbursts would be helpful!

My name is Nick and I'm new to real estate.  I'm currently studying to get my real estate license in northern Indiana and (what I'm most excited about) learning how to buy/invest in real estate and create cash flow.  Every 9-5 J.O.B. (Just Over Broke if you haven't heard the acronym) has bored the tears out of me.  I'm here to learn, meet new people, and of course make money.  Please feel free to reach out with me any questions, comments, concerns, emotional outbursts (maybe save this one for the dog).
