I'd be more than happy to checkout the neighborhood, take some video/pics, of the house, provide as much info as I can, act as your boots on the ground.

Rob,I have been seeking the same answer, but I am curious with some specific variables.How quickly can you refi a cash property in rentable condition with renters, by someone with excellent credit? 

I know much more about the real estate world than I did last week, by taking one hour out to watch/listen to the substantive podcasts and #AskBP videos on YouTube.

I own a GoPro and enjoy making small video edits.

If I could find a mentor to help me on my journey would be excellent.

Forced takes skill and sweat, market takes excellent timing and luck. 

If I buy a two family(floor) home in NJ for $450K built in 1974,no major work need to be done , and get 15 years loan on that, with current rate(I have excellent credit history) and get rate like $1700 from each floor, property tax is around $12k/per annual.So, what ever I get in rent will go in property tax and mortgage.but I will get house in 15 years...Is it worth...I am novice in this field, will appreciate detailed reply on this.
