I'll leave my $45,000 in it which isn't ideal, nor really a good BRRRR but the numbers should still work pretty well. 

If you are going to do it, then get at least 3 months of savings (ideally 6).

A real provider ideally owns the home first (NOT A LISTING) then they renovate it all in-house.

If you really want a condo, downtown would ideal as you can only buy condos there so you are not competing with single family homes.

@Kevin Romero - Here is my "starting up" collection:Read ideal-vs-desperate-investor (http://greeneincome.com/index.php/2018/10/29/ideal-vs-desperate-investor/)Read Dave Ramsey book "The Total Money Makeover: Classic Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness." and complete the baby steps there.Read Scott Trench’s book “Set for Life.”Finish the school and get your degree - you'll need it later, especially if it's business management.Get a job first where you have W2 income.

Ideally, they should own the property first, renovate it in-house, place a tenant prior to closing, and then manage it for you after the purchase. 

Not that it would benefit investors, but I am not able to do "ibuyer offers" through OfferPad if the situation fits.Looking to get involved in the local REIAs so ideally it would be somebody already involved in the local REIAs..thanks and looking forward to it!

Like @Ahmer Zaidi said, if you have an agent, have them set up an auto-drip for your price range in the areas you like.

I first wanted a vacation home in Orlando to also use whenever i go visit and it being a huge touristic area i felt like it was a good idea; but I feel like something i am able to drive to as my first time is ideal. 

I also read somewhere once that it applied if you were using an auto-dialer (also didn't make a lot of sense to me).
