Hello everyone,
I'm an all around newbie to Real Estate investing and becoming a landlord. I just purchased my first property with no background in Real Estate and investing. My goal is to purchase my second property by the time i'm 30. I am currently in my late 20's and want to start building my investments. I am really interested in becoming a great landlord and being part of a great community.

Welcome David!
Congrats on your first purchase. Hopefully it's gone smoothly and you see that you hit many of the rules of thumb that you'll learn about here on BP. Those rules can help you avoid the mistakes that some people make prior to learning them.

Welcome @David Florist. You have come to the right place. Hopefully now that you're getting more details about the numbers your first rental purchase still looks good. You've made it past the first step that hangs up a lot of people.
Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers). You can Google to locate them and go to meetup.com
You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing. Rents can be 2-4 times more. Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.
