@Rey Magana Welcome to BP.You didn't mention what kind of investing you are interested in.Is it singlefamily or multifamily?

As mentioned elsewhere, as much as you're able to do so now, handle all estate matters so you can avoid probate.

Go to local meetups, search these forums for people that have mentioned that they do private lending and attend other RE events.

I would like to know more about ways to use OPM  The only way to determine if the home is going to cost you a lot down the road is by determining the age of the mechanical systems & if the structure of the home is sound. 

All of what you mention can be done easily with Podio configured for REI CRM. 

This was also not mentioned until today. 

I didn't even mention SEO in my reply.

I did not mention, but this is a probate sale, and the seller is the executor of the estate.

My gut feeling is it's going to cost around $4,000 to repair and has been there for ages.

For us approaching retirement age, we want to have a mix of mortgaged properties and properties with full equity to leverage instead of relying on saving up for the next investment.
