Possible new drain tile?

Renting the entire home to just one family would probably just make me break even or possibly lose money, which wouldn't be worth the investment of my money and time. 

However, I do know that I want to get into properties as soon as possible perhaps when I graduate so my plans right now is to save, network, find a mentor and develop my understanding of the game. 

Great opp to cut as many expenses as possible since you're down on income.  

If it is possible for you could start on a multi family home that is easier to get financing including the renovation but you have to live there one year but your tenant(s) could pay the rent that would probably pay enough to cover most if not all of your mortgage payment.It can work well to be a good investment if you keep it for longer term.  

We are of course a bit green, but we will be actively seeking out knowledge here on BiggerPockets and ramping up as quickly as possible.

I'll have to consider this as a possibility. 

The woman & her husband are looking to move in as soon as possible. 

I take CALCULATED risks every day and the rewards are something you never thought possible.

Unfortunately we both live in such expensive, and possibly overheated, markets and are worried any purchase in either of these markets could be a terrible first investment!
