You are better off making a small investment on your own, maybe a two-family, and use it as a proof of concept.If you don't know anything, trying to source deals off-market will just be taking money and burning it on postcards without the correct systems behind and the incentive for people to call.

@Caleb L.I would say it is fine, so long as your job is not just to find a property for an investor by middle man communications between a broker and the investor for a small payment (pretty much what a broker does).

However, the worst decision in real estate investing are made because of emotional attachment to property and both of these have that potential (although they also have high value if done correctly).

But my question is if this is correct, what should I put the sq ft of the house when I put it out for rental?

You are in fact correct that yes, I am currently analyzing potential investment areas behind a computer.

Communication and trust are key.2️⃣ How I Met My Business Partner: Many times, people connect through networking, mutual acquaintances, or real estate investment groups (similar to this forum!).

Were all of the renovations you did in the past permitted correctly or DIY?

@Ted Barrettyour analysis is roughly correct. 

This can be communicated to the agent so that you can have a "meeting of the minds" regarding showings. 

Correcting this should adjust the profit at sale.Additionally, your property taxes seem quite low.
