23 years old.

Just moved to Houston, TX. I am attending UofHouston and have a 9-5 job as a housekeeper at a hospital.

I am a Marketing Major... I want to get into Marketing/Advertising but it's going to take me 4 years to complete and I'll be 27 years old by then (feel old to be in college) decided late plus after high school I had to work to support myself.

ANYHOW enough of the background.

I'm looking to invest in rental properties so I can have money coming in --- create a saving strategy and eventually quit my job in the next year or so. And repeat the process... with commercial buildings.

I just bought a house in Cleveland, OH (Hometown) for $7,500 it does need repairs but only cosmetic... no pipe damage, no electric damage or anything like that... I am looking at $3,700 in repairs and my Dad and uncles are contractors and will have the house together in no time. The neighborhood is decent ---- it's not a suburban area... but it's not bad. It's livable and really doable... the crime isn't bad in that specific area.

Well, my goal is to have it ready by February... if I start working on it next month.

I didn't take out any loans... I saved up $15,000 in one year... from budgeting and savingup my pay checks and stashing my tax return and my school refund. Therefore, I don't owe anyone any money (Thank God).

I'm working on building my credit as we speak... which will definitely be needed soon.

Any advice on this??? Does this sound like a good plan as a starter?... Spot any mistakes? I'm open to any advice...
