I help manage 25 buildings on a university’s campus (not affiliated with the university).

There is an unlimited amount of information available on the internet. 

Bigger Pockets has been  a great resource of knowledge so far but the information on the internet is so overwhelmingly broad that I am finding it quite challenging to set up an action plan.One of the places I have looked at is Roofstock to buy out of state properties in the affordable range within 100k. 

The best advice I can tell you is to stay away from the big banks (Chase, Wells, BofA, etc) and the lenders that pretend they are affiliated with the VA (USAA, Navy Fed, Veterans United). 

And if course I would not entirely jumpShip from one business to another just because the internet says anyone can do it with no money.
