I don't think moving from PA to Ohio to save one year is worth the time or effort.

The market here is relatively expensive, we both have pretty good jobs, but would like to avoid using our entire savings to get this off the ground.

I just posted a question on how to get a license online and one site suggested to me was: Real Estate Express or check with your Real Estate Commission of Florida. 

That's a span of time you can't even fathom at your age.2)  BUILD a SOLID FINANCIAL FOUNDATIONGet your credit score to >700 (there's a ton of info on how to build your credit anywhere on BP or Google)Obtain or continue earning W-2 income (this becomes important when you want to obtain a mortgage down the line)Pay down any bad (consumer) debt and don't pile on any additional bad debt.Start saving.

@Matthew CopelandTax Liens and Crowd Funding are pretty much the best options for a smaller account.Most investors will work within the standard financial services space to grow their savings and then switch to a self-directed account once they have the type of funding necessary to participate in more significant non-traditional assets such as real estate and notes.

We are hoping the building will save up for its own repairs and updates as we move forward.We are going to retain the current tenants at least until next summer, then slowly start increasing rent until they leave.  

If you are looking for an education, read the basic book for your state and track properties online.

I understand, that it is impossible to do rental comps online, without seeing the property, but, there still are some decent ways to do that

I do, however, advise waiting until you are able to find or create a great deal that you can afford before investing, and those type of deals don't just fall into your lap, you must work and actively seek them out ... the sooner and harder you start looking for them, saving for them, and educating yourself on how to spot and find them, then the sooner you will find them.

I am 20 years old, I work a full time job right now in the retail industry during the day, and I'm attending an online university at night.
