I set out 45-50 letters to absentee owners and one of the letters cam back with the yellow "return to sender" stickers.

I look for if they have debt such as hospital bills or student loans that they will have to pay every month Vs. revolving debt that is unsecured and they didn't pay it such as CC or store credit account.  

Are the tenants paying for CAM or common area maintenance?

My question regarding Venmo revolves around this: what do I need to maintain "good books"?

A very high chance I'll get traction and make an income right away.I've considered several career paths to give me an immediate stable income without a four year degree including:Escrow assistant, agent or officerTitle officerReal estate note investingBuying and selling raw landWholesalingCertified Apartment Manger (CAM)That's my initial plan.

Be familiar w the fees involved, there will be revolving fees in keeping your license, MLS etc.

They make six figures but have one credit account that has a high revolving balance, which they pay consistently (no late fees or etc.) the lender they are using to close a single family home is asking that they show additional assets that could be liquidated to take care of the full balance of the credit account.

The rent check will contain CAM and the monthly rent. 

The net impact of an inquiry is often much less severe than most people would otherwise think.  65% of your score composition is related to payment history and balance to limit ratios on revolving debts (e.g. credit cards). 

Went thru my agents broker and they cam back at 4%.
