Land your gig fighting fires and budget and save at least 50/75%  of your paycheck.If you're 17 and still live at home with your parents this should be attainable.

I know a lot of people say this, but I do feel like this is an attainable goal for me because I’m 21 and the only debt I have only 5k in student loans, and I owe 4K on a vehicle.

The house will be attained via a subject-to contract.

I am never done learning and I wanted to see if maybe someone would maybe partner or just let me tag along and see how they go about either flipping  properties or attaining a rental property . 

Aside from my selfish hope of using this platform to develop a sense of accountability, I hope that a new investor might glean a conservative, realistic, and attainable approach to financial freedom without any hype or anything to sell by sharing what I learn throughout the process and any inputs the more experienced investors chime in with.

Your target areas and rent figures look completely realistic and easily attainable.
