Young, dumb, and full of questions

I just finished college in Bellingham, WA and am looking to buy my first home. I feel that since I will reside in Bellingham this year I should start out by looking for local properties. Is this a good idea? Should I be worried about being able to get tenants if I do buy? Is Bellingham a good market to be searching in or should I be looking on the outskirts (or somewhere else completely)? I would like to at least be searching in the PNW. What is the best way for me to start the process of searching for a single family home to buy? How do I finance my buying of a home being a (pretty much) broke post graduate? Am I asking too many questions at once? I am obviously a newbie to bigger pockets and would love to connect with more likeminded folks and learn more about real estate investing. Let me know what you think and thanks for the feedback!
