Start small and Make Your Big Mistaes Early.

I have been reading the online resources about getting started, searching the market, and even doing tours, but I am hesitant to jump in and buy a house as I have quite a large amount of student debt.

. :-) I don’t have a coaching program I’m selling either.A little over a year ago, I started a thread about who was investing in their health.  

For your mortgage, a 30-year loan will give you lower monthly payments, which could be ideal while starting out.

Started the process on 1 house in Cape Coral Nov. of 2021. 

Thirty years ago I started purchasing and living in properties in upcoming inner city neighborhoods that required renovation.

I myself don't have a lot of appetite for risk which is why I started investing in real estate.

I have started to do some door knocking, and I see what you are saying!  

I'd start by giving all residents the required notice (usually 24 hours) and go inspect the units as quickly as you can. 

I'd also start the marketing process 30-45 days before current tenants move out in most cases - it just seems easier to re-let a place that is currenlty occupied than one that's been sitting empty for a while for some reason.
