For the time being, read, study, research, etc. all you can and start saving money.  

I have my own goals and target areas that I’ve developed through research and experience.

If you are investing far away I would start by researching for a property manager with quality reviews, just ask them what they may have from their other owners inventory, you could find a good deal with fully rented out properties and not even have to move.   

(I have 7 houses currently being renovated and also own a real estate appraisal firm) I have a deal that came across my desk a few weeks ago and the more I research, talk to builders, and a few other developers, the better this sounds.

This site is a great resource for researching "Wholesaling in California" and nationwide wholesaling for that matter.

I started my research on out of states around 4 yrs ago, read lots of books, listened to a ton of podcasts, etc.

I've been doing a lot of research and I keep getting differing takes on whether it's best to form an LLC or an S-Corp for our partnership.

Based on my research as well as what my friends pay to live in the area, I think conservative numbers for what I could get in rent after bringing the place into the 21st century are $800 and $1200 plus $200 for the garage, a total of $2,200 a month.

I'm asking out of ignorance, as I haven't done much research yet (outside of this post) on the details of renting garage space.  

Karl-I did lots of research.
