Step 0 go to the bank and get pre-qualified for a commercial loan- see how much you can buy. 

Simple, and yet to the point in that getting out a tenant can be tricky but there are a few methods that work.

Your first step is to serve him with a 5 day notice ASAP!

As we are just starting out, we want to take small steps to do researches and then make investments. 

Just purchased my first house with cash. How and who do I contact for an appraisal? I’m trying to get an ARV appraisal... looking for some kind of reference point before I dump money into rehab...

I will not rely on data from the internet as it's a poor method of determining property value. 

I work full-time but am available and willing to do as much of the labor as I can after work and on Saturdays to cut back on labor costs.Looking to you and the Bigger Pockets community to help guide me along the way.Please let me know what you think and what excatly can be done and what my next steps should be.

Question 1.First of all I never ever owned a Property, I don't even know who to talk to or where to go or anything and nobody gives me actual step by step information no matter what I ask.All I know how to do really is Pay Taxes.

My Solution would be 3 steps:1 - Evict the tenant for late rents. 

My Plan: I want to start with wholesaling to: Get my feet wet, clear up a few personal finances (3-4 deals probably do that), and then start building income for the next step of flipping.
