I recommend reading “Long-Distance Real Estate Investing: How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties” - I found it to be very helpful when I got started investing 2.5 years ago.

If you need to stay in DC for employment than I would recommend house hacking something, although I'm not sure how far 50k will take you there.

@Anita Z.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, tax planning and financial planning.

I recommend you include some of your key qualification criteria in the advertisement.

I just need help on finding a path to get my hands on the capital  I highly recommend going and taking @Frank Rolfe's MHP bootcamp but also talk to local banks

I know nothing about Joe McCall, but if he does not honor his warrantee I know enough that I would recommend all investors avoid his program like the plague.If you had a 90 Day money back guarantee, and you do not feel the program was worth the money then you should get your money back.As for getting your parents assistance 1) they are not obligated to assist you in RE 2) If you cannot convince them to assist you in RE then maybe you need to further your skill set. 

Left me feeling like a basically have a retail/fulfillment person on my team so I'm a big fan and would recommend giving them a shot, especially if you're in a similar position as I was: Needing to furnish an STR quickly and cost-efficiently.
