I’m 23 years old, no college degree, and I recently started a job as a project manager for one of the largest home building companies in Michigan.

Try these:Stanford & Associates Hinsdale, Illinois Mobile Insurance The Woodlands TexasKing Insurance Services San Juan Capistrano, CAThese are the largest and most experienced in the industry.

I am a licensed associate broker which obviously makes investing a lot easier.

So to some degree, you really need to understand the local market.  

Michael, join your local real estate investors association to network and learn from more experienced investors. 

I’d HIGHLY recommend going to Lending conferences like American Association of Private Lenders (AAPL) and your local version (CMA for CA) along with others like National Private Lenders Association (NPLA), Innovate by Geraci, etc.

You need to know all the expenses associated with a property to understand the investment. 

@Basilio Alcantara Hi Basilio, the Florida Bar Association has a standard, approved lease that is very thorough and comprehensive.

I've also read that you can expect higher quality tenants in a single family property, which appeals to me to some degree.

One major draw bck to look out for is the HOA associated with it, as well as special assessments that you have no control over that can kill your cash flow.
