You can probably start the education process at 17, then apply for your license once you turn 18.

Your starting depreciable basis should have been the LOWER of what you paid or the FMV in 2010 when you converted it to a condo. 

A couple months later finally starting to feel better.That's when I called in a professional mold remediator.

I will start from the offer stage. 

If you do have enough other income then you dont even need to lease out this property to start your refinance.However if you dont have enough income to qualify with no rental income offset then yes you will need to obtain your lease(s) and security deposit + 1st months rents deposited before you can utilize 75% of this gross income - your monthly PITIA payment (in terms of qualification on this property refinance.So all in all Id make sure what your current debt to income position is first of all (DTI) and then strategize to see if you even need the leases at all.

I highly recommend you start going to meetups.  

Finally my third piece of advice for getting started on wholesaling would be to meet cash buyers like myself and add them to a list of cash buyers.

For those of you who are starting out and want to learn more about real estate depreciation and cost segregation!
