However, I have helped a couple people with extremely basic home layouts when they were in the process of remodeling their home.

If you SLOWLY add variables after you have solved the same problem a couple times it gets easier with less risk.I sadly had a very hard time with FOCUS and switched things up on nearly every project, creating new challenges.  

You're just going to need to find a couple of folks on the ground that you trust.

They were great until they put a $1M limit on my policy because a couple of my homes ha pools.

For this reason I’ve undertaken the expense of installing separate propane heating systems in my buildings.

It might take a couple of years for you to really be in a place to go on your own, but a mentorship, internship, or even just getting hired at a larger flipping company would be a huge value to you just getting into this all!  

There were a couple of times I ended up a landlord by default in the past.

I highly recommend you travel to the market yourself and spend a couple days driving around, looking at various properties, if you are going to be buying anywhere.  

I have found a couple locations that are in Zone "X" and the price is right.

I need credibility, either through working for a couple of years for a company or buying my own property, starting small, and scaling with time.Now, my plan is to graduate next year (Im a junior), and get a job in a firm as an analyst in order to build that experience and mainly cover my living expenses, while on the side buy my first small property and go from there.However, and this is where I start overthinking,  I still have 1 year left in school and I want to use it to my advantage as I don't have any expenses or responsibilities other than school yet, and I want to do my first deal.
