And I understand that i am college kid with no money or experience but then you see people like Rob Beardsley who dropped out at 20 and bought a 200 unit property through syndication and then you think, hm, maybe its possible.I am fairly new to the real estate investment and what I have learned so far is choosing a mentor and attend real estate workshops then expand your network which will help you to pick up the pace, select your investment strategy and grasp the business model.

Do you use anything for remote access for maintenance? 

(I also suggest an in person visit to meet folks and get to know the areas, not to see a particular property but to build relationships.)Once you are active in a market you will start to connect with investors who may be selling, wholesalers who have assignable contracts, and your realtor may also have access to off market opportunities.
