Welcome to BP @Elijah Voigt There are a few local meetups that have been set up lately and of course the SJREI meetup that is weekly. 

I just finished my real estate courses, and I can not wait to hang my license, probably in the city of Downey.

I have a duplex in downtown Asheville, NC that I have owned for 10 years and recently finished rehabbing the upstairs part of it and have it for rent.

Lately, I have been entertaining the idea of going into commercial properties.

I am feeling as of late that it is getting increasingly harder to find more deals in our hot Las Vegas market at the moment.

Along with you could have gotten a judge who was late for his tee time :)

Also, to answer your questions:Finding the right property to do this: I'd suggest you continue to look on the MLSWhat to focus on renovation wise when moving in: An area where appreciation is strongLook for value-add | Meaning an addition to the existing structure or a bathroom or finish the basementEnsure that your finishes in the house is suitable for the market and sale price you are hoping to getWatch your budget Any other general advice on how to do this successfully: Add 20% to your budgetHope this helps you guys.

Recently, I finished Never Split the Difference on recommendation of the Bigger Pockets podcast with Chris Voss - loved it.

You don't have to be the bad guy giving out late notices, noise complaints, etc..
