just to give you some hints...
Equipment:
Really depends on what you want to spend. You don't need to buy technics to get into it. Check some local consumer eletronic shops in your area or the internet. eg. for germany this would be www.elevator.de. They also have complete DJ-Sets form 250-900€
Money:
Depends on popularity and other things. Ranges form 10.000$ to 25.000$ but basically it's an open end scale. Please take into account that those sums mostly include travelling and various other costs.
Also keep in mind that most pors spend a set amount of money per month to buy new vinyl to stay up to date.
To become resident:
All you need is a club and an owner who says "Hey buddy, you're in.." ...that's it basically.
Why Vinyl?:
Well, apart from all this quality stuff you can read all over the internet, one basic fact is keeping Vinyl alive: you can bury a technics for years in a desert, dig it up, dust it off and it will still play records as if nothing had happened... CD-Players basically fuck up after about 1 year playing in a club.
How do you land yourself gigs at other clubs around the country?:
Get into contact with other DJ's. Go to different clubs. See "Resident" statement.
Once you're well known, get yourself a booking agency and they will arrange the gig's for you.
Hope, I could help a bit.
