My dream is to do flips (I am self-employed interior designer so I have a fair amount of knowledge/experience/ideas/hook ups when it comes to the renovation world) but still not sure how to bridge the gap between where I am and where I want to go considering how insanely expensive real estate is here and also how relatively inexperienced I am with regards to the whole process (aside from interior design and some construction knowledge).

Both of those features definitely attract more guests.As far as numbers, we grossed $73,000 in our first year, over $90,000 in our second year, and easy potential for $100K+ in our third year.

If you want to invest in real estate he can make some suggestions on how to posture your financial picture to make you attractive to lenders and investors.

I am a 25 year old design engineer in Cincinnati, Ohio working towards my PE.

The low purchase price was attractive, but after we discovered the damage was not as significant as we feared we realized this house would be a home run.

And if the past owner said they fixed it, ask for the engineering design and proof that it was professionally repaired and ask if there was a warranty.

It's not a single family with a garage situation.Well, the lease they renewed with me does not say that they have a designated parking spot in the garage.

In the event it's ever vacant it would take a huge amount of work to make it attractive. 

This is exactly why I posed this question, I keep finding instances where condos could prove to be an attractive first step into the STR world.
