I'm just thinking about the time it would take me to show them on the other side of town constantly.

Real world example 1700 sq ft modular older but very well kept. $56000 $930 rent.  

It was like paying for multiple Master's degrees to get our "real world" experience.  

@Jose Saladin Purchasing your sister’s home as a live-in rental offers instant equity (~$170K), tax benefits, and landlord experience, making it a solid first step into real estate investing.

My recommendation is to see if you can work for a company in real estate or wholesaling that way you get training and education while getting paid 

I have had a hard time getting started and am anxious to get my first deal.

Does anyone know anything about real estate in the UK? 

Anyone with success setting up and then investing in real estate via an LLC/IRA? 

You're supposed to have a license in every state if you are representing either a buyer or a seller in a real estate transaction, or acting as an intermediary in the sale of real estate.

In my opinion, an in person meetup > an online connection.You may want to consider making a connection here and meeting up for coffee or attending a real estate networking event.Best of luck!
