Do not except overnight success, That will hurt you in the long run.

An exceptions is an IRS lien but that is easily handled with proper notice.

I am not sure how to get started except from the fact i will be taking real estate classes in college next semester.

the 1st company didnt do $4it except make a half *** attempt at collecting rent and paying the utilities. i got rid of them and my frown turned into a smile.

If you want to spend a few extra minutes you can save even more on items doing the following:For Lowe's I've gotten up to 34% off: Sign up for Post office mail forwarding for 10% off coupon, shop discount gift card sites for above 10% off gift cards (the best I've gotten was 18% off), buy the gift cards through topcashback website (1-4% off), purchase gift cards with citi double cash credit card for an extra 2% off.I bought a Neato vacuum that retails for $500 for $364 (shipped to the house) using the same method above except substituting the 10% off mail coupon from the post office with bed bath and beyonds typical 20% off. 

(I am not affiliated with them, except as a property owner.).

It would be a pretty exceptional property that could generate that much true cash flow with a mortgage.

***Only exception is if an owner has plan & funds to reposition Class D to Class C or higher.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/776/topics/960183-what-they-dont-tell-you-about-cheap-rental-properties?

Not much you can do except to incentivize them to leave...or another option is to tie up the property then flip it to a local buy/hold investor.
