The appliances and light switches were all yellowed from the amount of nicotine.

Hey everyone I'm Kyle,I'm a Senior student at Arizona State University studying Business Marketing, and I'm brand new to Bigger Pockets.

I am BRAND NEW, to this and don't know exactly where to start.

My plan for now is to purchase a SFH here in Houston that didn't need too much work but not brand new, live in it for awhile to build equity and then refinance to buy another, while making the first one a rental.Does that even sound like a good way to get started in RE?

This brand also has rave reviews online as well. 

It still looks brand new and property in general is amazing looking.  

I'd just go basic on the heating/air unit and have someone pick you up a decent commercial unit (something that would be installed at apts like Concord brand) at Washer Specialites near downtown or one of the supply houses in town or someone who can even sell you a used compressor for outside, and all new stuff inside etc. 

They are all vacant, except for that one with a squatter dude, and I don't know which unit he's in but he had cable and lights and water.

Any light on the matter would be great, thanks!

I'm real nervous putting this out there beings how I'm brand new to this but I really don't want to be a victim of "paralysis by analysis" and I suppose you can't get anywhere if you don't make a move.
