When you do it yourself it will require more time from you and also in slow seasons you might not make much money.

@William Johnny If you want to get into real estate, you mostlikely need to be earning $100k plus, yoi should get your real estate license and start aprenticing under a seasoned investor.

A legit fiduciary financial planner who is a seasoned real estate investor/pro herself.

For now you've gotten some great advice from some seasoned tax professionals. 

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

In my market and markets around me you can get a high quality rental for 150-300k.Rentals aren't feasible for everyone especially if you're in a market that's super expensive and not a seasoned real estate investor this is what leads people to invest out of state passively. 

Ideally this happens without any seasoning/payment history period, since I am reselling the house and lose title upon sale.

However, this depends on the sub-market & season.

I'm part of an investors group on groupme I can add you to learn from investors such as myself and more seasoned investors.

Most people that I talk to about it give me strange looks when I tell them that we own rental properties but basically live in a tiny house (400sq ft RV) ourselves.Eventually, we'll go back to having our own brick and mortar house, but this season is actually pretty fun for us and we've really been enjoying it.
