The "B" classes are desirable to live, but with any "C" class area, the tenant really does not choose the area, the area chooses them.

I have heard there are 1000 ways to go about this, but I am inexperienced and don't really know where to begin on looking for funding.  

Another way to go about this is getting a list of absentee owners, and pre-foreclosures.

It's a long weekend and I can't contact title company to know where to go from here.

Oh I definitely know that I'm not fully ready yet by all means, I'm just excited to finally make the steps to getting to where I want to go with RE.

Most likely you will have to go looking at different properties to buy.  

Hello there everyone, I am a veteran exiting the Army soon and I desire to become a Real estate investor.

Would love to hear of any other great tools out there.www.rentometer.com - compare rent for a specific address to the surrounding areawww.rentlingo.com/where-should-i-live - heat map for desirability of specific areaswww.areavibes.com - provides info about desirability of areas. 

I will be happy to go over some ideas with you and provide with calculations. 

So you need more money at the get go to make them work. plus these properties are in locations that are up and coming/desireable, are expensive to build new housing in/don't have open space, etc. that's why they gentrify, because they are near more expensive areas.
