The only stipulation is that I would need to pay for it to be transported and fixed up in order to start renting it out.

I have a contract with Caltrans (California Transport, government agency) for a board up and lawn maintenance, I already know those, but I am looking for a more broader scope, something like houses need a foundation work, or rehab to a "habitable" condition before the bank sells it to investors, something like that.

I am good at learning by doing and I am hoping to fine a great mentor who can trade knowledge and experience for my time and my skills.I have dependable transportation I am available in the evenings and weekends as well.

My goal is to network, continue learning and analyze deals to find my first investment property.I have a full time job in the transportation and logistics industry.

Since you are going to sell consider things like schools, transportation and the things people would pay for that aren't part of the home....you know what I mean?  

Some include: much better amenities, ability to move fairly quickly, usually better location leading to less or even no transportation costs (another 1/3 of most Americans budgets), lower net out of pocket so you have more to invest (assuming your duplex does not pay for itself completely). 

)I personally drive around neighborhoods and watch for any new home construction areas, houses being renovated or increased neighborhood revitalization activity, access to major highways, transportation and airports.

With these platforms in the Collaborative Economy (AirBnB, VRBO - short-term rentals, TaskRabbit-Errands, Prosper-Crowd Funding, Car2go -transportation, etc.) the "team" is plug-n-play like never before!

In Oregon the unclaimed department is like in the Department of Transportation some place you would never check. they count on taking this money after 5 years its free to them and easy to manage..

Thanks for the reply @Grant SmithI did look at some comparables and felt like my rental had more square footage throughout the house, nicer appliances, and close to highways/public transportation versus other properties in the area.
