My findings have been without a serious bankroll it's tough to invest here.

My family is extremely handy when it comes to fixing/remodeling houses so I definitely have that on my side, what I don't have is the bankroll to make it happen in a hurry.

Also, Camden is going to create a big mix-used center walking distance from this location, so if even a covered land play would work for the location if you have the bank roll. http://swamplot.com/crane-gets-airborne-above-the-lot-next-to-root-square-where-a-new-camden-tower-will-rise/2018-02-27/Today it was recently sold to Fat properties who has about 10yrs more experience and sounds like they are going to do a great job on the building. http://swamplot.com/the-changes-coming-to-the-pre-...

I know of one local contractor that does and that's only because of a giant markup and having a big enough bankroll to not worry

If you don't have any living expenses, i.e. you're living/eating at home, and you only owe $9k on the car, you should get the car paid off pronto and then start bankrolling everything you've got to gather up enough down payment to buy something to house hack. 

So you have lots of options to make money and learn RE without a big bank roll.

Talk about a bankroll!!

I am looking to bankroll and launch my investing endeavors by selling a property that my family has owned since 1940.

Live as cheaply as you can, and save as much of those commissions as possible to bankroll your REI.Your licenses will also lead to contacts, which of course lead to opportunities - especially when the investors in your area get to know you.It won't happen overnight, but its worth the effort.

I also believe investing far from where you live is much riskier, I don't have the bankroll to be taking on much risk right now.Investing far away will probably be when I'm just playing with real estate in a few years, not when I'm trying to build wealth. :)
