It has worked out for me, but I'm wondering if anyone else has another person they trust that I can float other, similar tasks to?  

Right now, the best offers around me are for some 1.3-4 million, that only generated around 100k per year gross, so there would be a high chance of not cash flowing, and paying money, especially with a commercial loan (these buildings have more than 4 units).I was thinking that although the rental itself does not generate money, I would be able to deduct the mortgage interest, and depreciation from my personal w2 income and would be net positive.

I am personally very bullish on the Phoenix market.  

I've been informed that completing the course alone may not be sufficient to pass the exam, so I’m seeking advice on how to prepare effectively once I complete it.Currently, my only other resources include a YouTube video, five practice exams, and a textbook.If you have any additional suggestions—whether online or in-person, paid or free—that could help me effectively prepare for the exam, I would greatly appreciate them.

And you can't legally dictate how much they carry for personal belongings. 

Appreciation is only a THEORY until a person SELLS, be it gain or loss. 

Personally, I do not like any strategy or approach that aims to benefit from the misfortune of others.

The person worked for H&R Block, now works for TurboTax Live and is being honest about their skills: NOT QUALIFIED.
