As LeBron says "You have to focus if you want to take it to the next level."

If you do not have thousands to put into mailers you might want to go work for another investor.EARN WHILE YOU LEARN.It's great to want to be independent but generally you have to learn and put in time before you get to that level.

I'm ready and excited to take my real estate investing to the next level.

By the time the notes make it down to a level that they are available to me all of the obvious prime investment opportunities are going to be gone. 

If Florida is anything similar to its northern neighbor (Georgia), you can probably build for as low as $60/sf if you're your own GC, if you don't have to spend a fortune on utility hook-ups and if permit costs are relatively low.We build with mid-level finishes in the low-$60s/sf in Atlanta...

On a personal level, i love to travel, mostly cruising!!  

Here are my thoughts:-can't be too close to the ocean, sea level is rising rapidly-Ideally it'd be nearby (I live in Virginia) so somewhere on the east coast that I could drive back and forth to-Once I graduate, I was going to move to TX or NV and get involved in real estate there.

I have had my tenants in past make small fixes to the property(depending on their skill level).

Incorporating can certainly save you on taxes depending on your income level.

I would speak to a local investor who has a level head and see where they think the real estate market is going.
