Answer
There is a sight that might give you some direction as a beginner guitar player.
http://www.all-things-acoustic-guitar.com
It covers a lot of material ranging from different beginner guitars, electric acoustic guitars, learning to play the acoustic, and more.
The difference between an acoustic and an electric acoustic is simply that one can be amplified and the other cannot unless it is mic'd.
You may not think that you can afford a teacher, but if you change your strategy, you might be able to.
You might take one class a month. I know instructors who charge as little as $15 for a half hour lesson.
You could take a lesson, and then save up for the next. This way it is not such a strain on your budget.
You might also check out a church or community center in your area and see if they offer music lessons- some do it for free or just donations.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Beginner Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar Buying Suggestions?
Bro
I'm looking for a decent beginner fingerstyle guitar for around $250 or lower; lower would be better :/. I'm an adult, so please no children guitar suggestions. Any help would be great. I've heard cedar topped guitars produce a deeper/louder sound, but I'm lost on which one to buy.
@sbdfhs
I'm looking for brand names and/or model number/names from people who will give me some honest suggestions that can save me from spending money on something that's total garbage for fingersstyle guitar playing. I know First Act brand guitars sound good when new, but their made cheaply and can easily break(strings, tabs, ect.) from normal use. That's the only brand I know to stay away from.
Answer
It is true that cedar in general will sound a bit more mellow than, say a spruce top. Whether there's more volume from one over the other, is debatable. That said, I do believe it would be that spruce gives more volume.
Please be aware that we're talking about a lot of factors here and the top wood is just one of many. Other factors are the quality of the top wood, internal bracing type and quality, other woods used, any laminates (sides and bottom is often laminate on all but the top end guitars), type and placement of sound hole, strings (type and gauge), cutaway or non cutaway, playing style, pick/fingers, neck/body joint, neck scale (string tension) etc.
The only way to find a guitar that will suit your preferences and be within your budget, is to try out as many as you possibly can. Listen to them being played and play them yourself; be are of sound as well as feel.
First Act and other brands sold from compartment stores is definitely nothing you'd even want to consider. Either purchase in person (new or used) from another guitar player, or from a dedicated store dealing with guitars.
Buying online can be an option if you know the seller, know exactly what you want and you know the guitar has been set up to your exact specifications. It is vitally important that you get any guitar set up (properly adjusted) for you according to your chosen string gauge, playing style and preferences. Most off the shelf guitars are set up way too hard to play.
You may want to check out Luna or Lag guitars - both give you excellent quality for the money. Go online and search for videos on YouTube regarding these and other guitars first.
Other potential brands could be Takamine, Yamaha or Seagull. There are lots of others as well - again, the best you can do is to try them at a store.
It's no point in giving any specific model - it is down to whether you will like the feel (neck and body size) and sound.
The guitar that is recommended by Mikey here is good. However, as usual, he tend to recommend high priced luthier built instruments.
I would avoid Epiphone if I were you. They are not Gibson. They are built by Epiphone - owned by Gibson and they are definitely not Gibson quality. Seen and heard way too many of them... Looks nice though.
