I have no guidance for you specific state, maybe you'll get lucky with someone on here but you may want to start posting in your local FB forums or head to the local meetups to find someone. 

Is that the best to start or should I aim to be driving for dollars and be a wholesaler one day?

Planning to relocate to the Southeast (SC, NC or Georgia) in 2026 and want to start out by investing in single-family rentals, condos and joining real estate investment groups to invest in multi-unit or commercial properties.My investing goals consist of cash flow for consistent monthly payments and equity for bigger purchases down the road.Looking forward to building a network of real estate professionals and investors to help find new opportunities, stay on top of market trends and provide value to other investors and tenants.Any tips for new investors would be appreciated.Best,Brett HarmonTwitter

It sounds like you're off to a good start and I think putting together 2-3 rentals in Colorado by 2026 is certainly doable/attainable. 

In order to fund properties, we’re focusing on starting a seller services business.

@Anna DoumkinaIt’s going to be very challenging getting a lender to do one property with that low of a down payment - so start with 1 before trying to buy 5-10Section 8 properties also have a lot more maintenance so you will want to make sure to have adequate reserves as well

What is the Minimum amount of capital I should have before I start looking for a property? 

I’ve saved up a bit of capital during high school and my plan is to keep building it while I’m in college and start investing quickly.

Or as the original poster put it- just don’t finance them and pay all cash, then you could do it with 40 luxury rentals at $10k a month.Now to rant - it’s great to have a goal, but start with one and see how it goes….

Then they sell as many as they can at top dollar until something changes, then they start discounting and starting 'Fire sales" which hurts the previously purchased homes since the last few get sold for less.
