I was going to take the FHA route try to get a unit property, but my problem is my DTI is high due to my student loans and a car payment so now I am a little discouraged on how I can get started and also get funded my Linda informed me that I can use an alternative person for the income, but I don’t have no one to use it just me and my income is not good enough so I’m not sure on what to do as far as breaking into Real Estate  I feel like it’s just not going to happen for me 

It's understandable that you're seeking to invest in real estate to secure your financial future.Background and Financial Situation:Given your circumstances of having $150k in cash from an inheritance, a credit score of 756, and a year of work history, you're in a relatively strong position to begin your real estate investment journey.Strategies Considerations:Out-of-State Investing:Investing in areas with lower property values and employing the BRRRR strategy can be a viable approach.

You are right , lot of variables and a very difficult comparison, thanks for the tip, will search the forum 

For instance, one property seems to have an extra bathroom that is not listed in the county records.I plan to make some modifications, including removing a closet wall to expand a bathroom and taking out a kitchen island that contains electrical outlets and a switch.

Now I provide a modestly sized (42-48") TV in every bedroom, and a big one in the living room.

I’m starting to dabble in real estate investing and a local agent told me this is a great spot to network and learn.

Since most properties on the market here have inspections and a disclosure packet up front, it will be difficult to get those documents without MLS access. 

They did successfully place and a tenant who even pays early, which is a very nice change.

The Seller is required to disclose any material defects and a fire would definitely fall into that category. 

To pick a location, I understand I want to evaluate median income, a large population of those approaching retirement age, and a decently dense population.
