If you want the exact process you'd need to speak directly to the planning/zoning dept and specifically ask them these questions to outline the exact process for this property. 

have strong desire to venture in real estate and have read books about real estate and the book I'm currently reading directed me to get more insights from here!

If you're looking for out-of-state properties, start with turnkey single-family homes or small 2-4 unit properties while building your local network and establishing boots on the ground.

Go direct to seller, learn to source your own deals and you will be successful
