Anyone have any tips of things I should be looking for or cameras I should look at?

Used Canon Rebels (T5i or up) and a 40 or 24 2.8. A smaller alternate body is the SL1. Canon lenses are super cheap used and plentiful. There are several great inexpensive options for zooms as well.
I'm sure Nikon has similar options, I just don't know those models off the top of my head and from what I've seen, Canon is easier and cheaper to get lenses for.
Spend money on the lenses, not the body. If you want a new DSLR, that's a bit low on the budget. Paying for a community college intro to photography is also a great thing to include.
