I would make sure you find a mentor who is at least a decade ahead of you in experience with the financial success to show for it AND is also adapting to the shifting marketing strategies with mobile devices dominating everyone's attention more than TV, radio, or mail. 

If you are new, go ahead and do this.

Your local RE Broker, RE Attorney and/or Title company will most likely be the most valuable to make sure you get it right though.Please keep in mind, this isn't something to just "try out" when dealing with real estate and people's homes and finances, so make sure you've got everything lined up correctly ahead of time. 

In the end though I forced myself to learn first hand and I did come out ahead on my first deal, which was a flip.

What type of loan would you be getting ahead of time?

@Joseph Rios Go ahead and let the attorney file the eviction.
