This platform on Bigger Pockets is a great source of information where you can ask questions and also learn from other investor questions.

I purchased/still going through tutorials, entering data and trying to learn the program. 

If anyone has any other tips and tricks or things they have learned through experience I would be happy to get your thoughts.

You can hear real-world examples of how others have built their investment portfolio and (hopefully) learn to avoid their mistakes.4.

@Micah Huffman unless you are going to commit to learning some basics about being a landlord AND are willing to commit at least 2-4 hours each month managing a Property Management Company - it's probably best you sell.Otherwise, it's highly likely you could lose more due to bad tenants and management.

Even at $2200 I don't expect to get a positive cash flow for the first year, but that's okay as long as I rent it out and learn from my mistakes for my next investments.

Lessons learned?

I have learned that any property can cashflow but not when you are looking to put the least amount of money in the deal. 

Read my book, Brandon's book, or Every Landlord's Legal Guide by NOLO and learn how to proactively manage your property well. 

Definitely a very expensive lesson learned, need recommendations for a reasonable priced, good contractor please?
