So how much you actually need to spend for renovations may vary depending on the unit and tastes and preferences.

You get to landlord on a small scale- get a taste of whether buy and hold is what you want to do long term.

So I currently live in a duplex that I rehabbed myself, but am now looking to purchase that forever home.Goal: To have a forever home, and a garage (sadly my duplex in Oakland doesn't have parking) that's customized to our taste in a good school district.

Furnishing a place tastefully in the "airbnb style" is not that expensive, and can be fun.

Then you will get a taste of being a landlord and managing a property. hope this helps  

Or if you like the adrenaline taste of the fix n flip. 

Act sound, taste, look, behave like a real company and people will treat you as one.SeriouslyGet a website, work on credibility, do facebook ads, PPC, and work on SEO.Done.

My first little taste of an investment so I’m really trying to start out with something good here thanks

I've been approved by both lenders, and had a bad taste with Lender 1 since the loan officer seemed to indicate that most of the closing costs would come off (or significantly decrease) after underwriting, but that's not what happened (I understood him to say that if we didn't end up doing a full appraisal a lot of those fees would come down, etc.).

ADVICE: If anyone is telling you to AVOID or choose any certain firms it is because they have a bias opinion that's either good or they have bad taste in their mouth for whatever reason.
