@Justin Fraser has been a huge help to me (I'm a newbie as well) and pointed me to the SJREIA (South Jersey Real Estate Investors Association) which has been invaluable so far.

if your local realtors association has access to the tax system then a friendly Realtor can get you the list. 

College degrees are essential for certain careers. 

Unless you already had a decent job for 2 years (Minimum) while in college, lenders will typically give you financing based on you graduating with your bachelor's degree and securing a contract with a job in your degree's related field.

forget investing for the moment your whofully undercapitalized.. and you could end up losing whatever you have.if you want in real estate and your working part time now.. get a RE license cost maybe a grand.. so spend that on education.. get in with a top flight broker on their team.. earn while you learn.. then start saving money.. hang with the club that does deals  IE real estate agents.. you will find off market deals before anyone else and you don't have to send or spend money on marketing to get them its all in the club.short of that take your degrees and energy and move to a better work environment.

Also ironic that while although my instructor was well-educated and informative, she quickly mentioned how she has a degree in marketing.....interesting.  

I am fifty-eight years of age, have a bachelors  ( 4- year ) degree in Business Administration ( General Management ) from Western Kentucky University ,  Bowling Green , Kentucky .

We're in a fairly high-end area, though not to the degree of Orange County, and it's my experience that the custom builders can make as much or more by working with a client, with no risk, as opposed to splitting profit with an investor.

New houses grow old with renters.. it will never look better to put on the market than now.The "wanting to get experience as a landlord for this type rental.. a SFH is marginal for just this one property" better to take a class at a landlord tenant association so your prepared more to do that in the future.Personally I'd sell if the tax guy thinks it's wise to do, otherwise the depreciation and losses you may have renting for the next few years might offset and keep it about a even trade off to sell later.
