All the water from the crown of the road floods onto my property and I was informed its illegal to discharge water onto anothers property and that the engineers could apply pressure to the city to have curb and gutter installed.

You may have local ordinance(s) that allow them to step in and apply pressure to correct the matter.

Then start shopping for houses, don't engage in FOMO or real estate agent pressure. 

It could be worth engaging with the MSO or the owner to explore adding a renewal option or gauging the MSO’s future plans.

Originally posted by @John Nachtigall: It pre-assumes that people don't have the discipline to pay extra into their mortgage (with say a 15 year fixed), so they force it by putting you in debt (the initial $15,000 lump) and then assume the pressure of the debt will force you to pay it back over the year.

But most wholesalers I know have a large team and lots of money in their business to find leads.So in conclusion, I agree that some (or many) of the training programs have high pressure sales techniques to get people to join their programs.

I am trying to gauge the difference in managing single units vs. a unit with 4 students.

We've already seen in the response from @Dewayne C. that the sales people pushed this hard ignoring facts about accreditation, pushing investing from retirement accounts and likely not disclosing necessary information or using high pressure sales tactics, which would also be inappropriate. 

Not specific to OP but I constantly observe the pressure investors face to buy real estate.
