How do we stay in the real estate game while minimizing our risks? 

You don't want to be so focused on getting into the game that you leverage the start of your entire life just to do it.

When I was young in the game.  

Been in the game for a while, mostly building multifamily projects that balance quality and cash flow.Right now, we have multifamily developments going in Dothan, Warner Robins, Douglas, and working on breaking ground in Waycross, Kingsland, Colquitt, and Thomaston--new construction, built to perform for investors.

Purchase price: $16,500 Cash invested: $16,500 Invested in a shopping mall - consisting of shopping, movies, game centers and food court located in the heart of the city.

Specifically I could add a French door to a room to make it a bedroom.

I have a pretty large capital ready to step into this game,I am in big conflicts either choosing Ohio(Cincinnati/Dayton) or Texas(Houston) for BRRRR method, I read a lot about Ohio, only positive stuff.

Consider yourself ahead of the game!

Really the person that is going into the flipping game should know the market very well to do these comps on their own, and back it up by asking their trusted real estate agent/professional for confirmation.
