If you have time consider spending 30 minutes for 30 consecutive days on Bigger Pockets.

In the meantime, spend a few dollars on a good photographer so the house will look great on the MLS listings. 

I am recently married and want to build a residual income stream so that I can spend more time at home, with the ultimate goal of not having to travel for work at all.I am looking for a partner, but you can read about that on my profile, since no sales pitches are allowed here.

I wouldn't mind spending a couple hours and seeing if I can put something together and then sharing it back with the community.  

I must echo what others have said and add, once you have your investment goal for the area set, you need to spend some time getting to know the neighborhood. 

How I got started is easy: I saved all my money, hustled up income everywhere I could, didn't spend extravagantly on consumer goods, went to college, got a better paying job, saved more money, learned how to do/fix/install virtually everything. 

I am in the same field, and I got into real estate and think it works fairly well with education (if your job has some flexibility like mine)...I can recall spending like a hundred grueling hours fighting over half someone's deposit in the legal aid office and stalling the eviction an extra week or two on  technicalities (a noble cause for sure), but they still, of course, were evicted eventually with no money.

If they were in a higher bracket I would spend a bit more time with it though. 

I will also be financing, does not need to be single family, I am open to other properties, such as apartments, but if an apartment, can't spend  more than $140,000 since I am looking to avoid PMI and would like to put down the 25% required to avoid this.

Then they fail there occupancy inspection and end up selling the property for a loss or spending 40K to fix everything.
