The broker/owner, team lead, or seasoned agent could help another agent that is new in the business just like I did when I got into the business, I got a mentor to help me through gaining market share and how to do it.

For deals I do, I try to write in under the inspection section in the purchase agreement, “any and all recommend by home inspector including but not limited to inspections checked no above.”

In Oregon, how do I decide between renting and buying?

I was already doing painting and renovations.

So often rentals don't have taxable income; and once they do it's still not subject to the payroll taxes paid by W2 wages or on self employed income. 

See what qualifications people are looking for and do what you have to in the meantime to produce income while you're studying. 

The properties have unique advantages accruable to an investor who is willing to do their homework and take calculated risks.
