I have been studying real estate investing in my spare time for several years and my father and grand father have always owned a small handful of properties (in CA), so I've had some exposure to the gig.

I did a similar thing but just bought an SFH and rented out the spare rooms (M/F's in my area are wayyy to expensive!)

Doing some real estate agent work in your spare time could be a great way to boost your savings while learning more about your local real estate market, so I believe that is a great idea.

If you stick with adj. make sure you can hold onto property if interest rates climb say 10% (which I think you can with the spare cashflow).Lastly I would go into it with a plan for the 15k rehab.

Heck I even check the cars to see if they are maintained, not maintained, have different color panels, riding in spare tires, etc.

I had a 4 br house that was rented by a couple with 1 kid, they used the spare 2 brs as his & hers office/hobby rooms.HUD has a table online at HUDuser.org for the entire country which lists the average rents for the different bedroom sizes.

I've done my best to start calculating the numbers for properties I'm looking at in my spare time, but I don't feel comfortable making a deal when so many deals appear to be bad on paper.

I have several strategies in place and have shopped in my spare time for years.
