I continue to be impressed at the valuable resource of BP!

Maybe I should read the bp beginner's guide again for the third time.

I second Pellegrino, especially if you have questions they can defiantly help guide you.

Take a moment to read the Bigger Pockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing as Josh and Brandon did a great job with it.

As you can see - you have so much valuable information and support here on BP without shelling out thousands.

Consider student housing since you are familiar with it, see below.Check out the Start Here page http://www.biggerpockets.com/starthereCheck out BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide - A fantastic free book that walks through many of the key topics of real estate investing.Check out the free BiggerPockets Podcast - A weekly podcast with interviews and a ton of great advice.

@Ugochukwu Opara Welcome to BP.There are so many books that you could find valuable.

I think you'll get a lot from the ultimate guide to tenant screening by Brandon Turner.

I added another 15% for repairs to the final estimate.BTW, I used your book as a guide for the inspection and estimated repairs :)But I understand your sentiment, and one can put as much as they'd like into a home.

Hopefully someone in your area can chime in with more input on getting a business started in your area.There is a TON of information on this site, read the beginner's guide and the "start here" page, read forum posts, ask questions, and get involved in the discussion and you'll start to put all of the pieces together.Good luck and have fun!
