Bigger Pockets has definitely opened my eyes that financial freedom is obtainable and they have so much awesome information and tools, I'm about to go pro so i can start analyzing deals.I was thinking about wholesaling to start since i don't have a a lot of money to start investing. 

. + a hammer + gloves + eye protectionand construction grade garbage bagsyour multitool is useful if you cut trough the grout and backerboard to break it into smaller chunks, (preferred method of tile pro's) but YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT IS INSIDE THE WALLS so you don't cut a pipe/drain/electric.you put the tool/chisel at 30 or 45 degree by the edge of the tile and after 2-6 hits it should come offafter the first 10-20-30 you will get in a rhythmcheck the lower edge of the backerboard for water damage. if yes, replace, they come standard in 3ft by 5ft sheetsdo you want to replace the bathtub or just refinish (everything is in the prep work)?

I am still working on what options for finding said wholesale deal I want to pursue but so far driving for dollars and keeping an eye on the MLS and having a realtor who works with investors set up a search for me on distressed and foreclosed homes in the Waukesha, Jefferson, and Milwaukee counties.

Let me downplay that to glazed over eyes power hungry.

Keep an eye on the areas you'd like to invest.

Secondly, there are always comps - especially in an urban area like Miami.You have to look at comps from the eyes of an appraiser.

So, is a rehab in the eye of the beholder?

I think your plan is a safe way to ease into real estate investing; however make sure you purchase your first home with the eyes of an investor meaning get the best deal possible.

Really opened my eyes.

In spite of the medical challenges, my personal financials are stellar.In the short term, I have an eye out for cash flow buy and hold.
