If you aren’t willing to invest something in the property, I think it unlikely a seller would be willing to undertake the risk of investing in you.Oh and @Jay Hinrichs depending on where those properties are, I’d be happy to take a look :) 

Here are a few graphics that should help you start your search while you save a bit more for a down payment. 

My name is Ron and I am a graphic designer from Columbus Ohio.

I am a professional graphic designer in Marion, IN.

And teamed up with me, his graphic design/web development brother, I think we could make some creative things happen. :)

Greater than 50% indicates more people moved into the state than out of the state.Below is a 2015 graphic (I was not able to find a more recent similar graphic) showing the top states from which people are moving to Las Vegas.The numbers shown above may seem small, but the total population of Las Vegas is approximately 2.3M so the number of people moving in has a big impact.

This tells you per your state exactly how it is affected:https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/busin...This one is a little more technical:https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/17/ups...What do you think where this is going?

I worked as a personal assistant in a previous life so I'm experienced to undertake a variety of duties.

All are equally important and will require a diverse team to effectively undertake the management.

But even if the seller asks to pass that along to me, I'd be happy to pay that price to rest easy knowing that I didn't undertake my first real estate transaction totally blindly and with no training.
