@Austin Steed Congratulations! Some times you just have to take the chance and go for it. I wish I had started at your age, I can't imagine where I'd be by now had I. 

@Nicholas Miller I almost always trust the landlord before the current landlord. The current landlord may say anything to get a bad tenant out of their property and save them the headache of an eviction or dealing with this person. The one he has already left has no reason to lie. 

@Ryan Dressel *Disclaimer* I have never worked with these guys but have heard good things.

Google will give you number and address, won't let me post that information. 

@Doris Daily Welcome to BP. Check out the forums and BP Podcast and you can learn a lot, set up keyword searches as well. Are you living in half of the duplex or fully renting it out?

@Gerald Jordan Welcome to BP. The forums and BP Podcast are a great learning tools as well as valuable networking tools. Best of luck. 

@Sean Kasperek Depends on what you are wanting to do. I know a guy who makes good money flipping mobile homes and I know others who buy, hold and rent them. They are fairly inexpensive to purchase and fix up so it isn't a bad way to start and get your feet wet. 

@Reen Wade Depending on how your your agreement is worded you could make it difficult for the seller. However, it probably isn't worth the headache to force the issue. I'd allow him to terminate and move on to the next deal. 

That is a good plan. Having multiple exit strategies is always smart. 

If you are interested in wholesaling I would avoid the RE license and instead use my money for direct mail marketing. Set up a list of homes you plan to target and rotate letters and cards every 4 to 6 weeks. Best of luck. 

Welcome to BP! I used to live in the DC/VA area and know it can be a great market.

Definitely check out the forums and sub forums, set up keyword alerts and I would listen to the BP Podcasts. Best of luck!
