At 19, your friends may not understand your drive.

I personally know both @Jaclyn Cano and @Wale Lawal and can confidently say both are great and VERY Investor friendly!

I sent a friend down there to look at various listings.

You should look for an "investor-friendly" PM company that knows how it is just dipping your toe into the water of buying a home/condo/townhome.. 

Here is what we have found and I will probably catch some heat for some of the things I have to say, because it does not sound "investor-friendly".

Then you own the LLC and can transfer the property into it.If you transfer the property into that LLC the way it is then technically you just gave your friend ownership of the house proportional to his ownership of the LLC.I'm not an attorney, so take that with a grain of salt.

I think one of the biggest analysis paralysis thoughts is on landlord- or tenant-friendly areas.

Quote from @Michael Poloncic: Three individuals signed a lease together, all friends, the lease is set up where each of them are expected to pay 1/3 of the rent.

BC and ON are very tenant friendly.

I have a few friends that do MTRs in the Denver area and they are doing well.
