The best advice I can give you for studying for you license is to voice record yourself reading questions and answers on notes cards.

In any event you can see what the SEC thinks of modernization here:https://www.sec.gov/news/press...I have read of late that small family offices can pool non-accredited investor money to qualify that entity as an accredited investor. 

Really appreciate your feedback. 

I also have ~$20k that I've resigned for the scripted "mishap" that always comes up after purchase...lolI've read a number of other threads and I've seen a fair amount of talk about Ohio.

I am currently trying to learn as much as possible by reading books and listening to podcasts.

If you have any experience with real estate in the greater Charleston area, I’d greatly appreciate your feedback and insights.

@Caleb Rehg  I would advise your first step is to search this site for college student rentals and student rentals and read all you can. 

If you have an older home that requires a lot of maintenance, you probably want to avoid the manager who charges a markup.I recommend shopping around occasionally to see if your PM is procuring fair pricing or just marking you up to make money without justification.As for expectations, you need to read the PM agreement and understand what is charged and why.

I doubt you’d qualify for a mortgage in Texas while on a gap year since you are just getting credit now and won’t have any income to show a bank.Spend some time listening to as many podcasts and reading books about real estate while trying to save as much as possible to help you get started.

Read your mortgage paperwork for the due on sale clause.
