Conventional, FHA, and USDA all have products with very low downpayment options and government-subsidized rates for first time homebuyers who have a normal income.

From recent history, mortgage rates historically are low even today, compared to the past.

That being said, there are tons of low cost or free education and networking opportunities out there to learn the business. 

Basically, lots of low quality leads when BP advertises the program on social media such as LinkedIn or PPC. 

I believe you are on the low end at $220.

If your unsure, hire a plumber as others have suggested, pipes are never level and your going to have water pool in low points which will freeze and bust the pipe. 

This means low monthly payments for high cash flow, which translates to low interest rates and extended loan amortization.

In my search for a more efficient and low-cost solution to my current system I have come across STESSA.

Owasso is another area to consider, though prices there may be on the upper end of your budget, but the rental demand is strong due to local amenities and a community-focused environment.For a buy-and-hold strategy, these areas tend to offer good rental demand, relatively low vacancy rates, and potential appreciation over time.

For no/low-cost seller leads, I'd also recommend FSBO via zillow or realtor.com.As far as commission structure, the post-NAR settlement rule is that you are only allowed to collect the amount negotiated on your buyer agreement.
