I wish I had your mentality when I was your age, you're going to do great things.I'm a local investor and real estate agent myself.

Depending on your Real Estate Strategy, the number of houses you can purchase and Flip/Rehab in a given time period, will determine how successful you are.

I did my first with just;Mortgage Broker- Step 1 is to determine your budget.

The international property maintenance code which is the document many building department use for determining overcrowding complaints is based on the followingMinimum 70 square foot bedroom 1 occupant Minimum 50 square feet per person for two or more i.e. minimum 100 square feetIt does not address ages or relationships Many zoning ordinances have rules of more than 2 or 3 persons unrelated by blood is a violation.  

Who determines an "emergency"?

Seasoned private lenders or rehab lenders will know how to determine their returns to be comfortable.

Make sure you have a forwarding address for the tenant so you can mail your determination and refund (if appropriate) within the allotted time period.

Thank you for the wise words of advice, that is a really good point and I will make a mental note of that!
