Also, are you living in one side and house hacking this?

HI Stephanie,You can always start off by house hacking meaning you live in one UNIT or ROOM and renting out the other vacant units/rooms to offset your monthly mortgage payment.There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible.

Or should I be focusing on housing for insurance companies ?   

I'm an agent, RE investor and developer in central Houston myself.

For example, when pha slaps you with a surprise inspection cause their system "forgot" to send a letter and then issues a 24 hr repair notice cause one outlet in the house does not work but they send that notice an hour before they come to reinspect lol, a $7k course is not going to have prepared you how to get an electrician the same day.

I started my first house hack when I was 24.

The first way is build a team large enough to do it all in house, now you have a crew lead who can go estimate time and materials to get jobs done. 

BTW the house is on a crawlspace, not encapsulated but not soaking wet either. 

Hi everyone, I’m interested in purchasing my parent’s next door neighbor’s house.

However, the house is under an LLC.
