A property manager should always account for both income and expenses—you’re the owner, and you have a right to see exactly where your money is going.It almost sounds like he thinks he’s doing you a favor instead of working on your behalf.

Risk goes hand in hand with the amount of money you stand to make.  

Quote from @Enrique Toledo: I came across a really good seller financing deal and I would like to purchase it as my first deal but I don’t have enough money for the down payment.can I use a lender of some sort to give me money for the down payment?

I try to pay off all loans as fast as possible because I feel like money wasted on interest is overlooked sometimes as people only focus on the amount of money coming in rather than the amount saved.As of today, I'm just focusing on establishing the best systems to analyze the markets, find properties, get financing, make wise renovations, and manage my rental properties.

Since regulations frequently change, it’s best to consult a local real estate attorney to ensure compliance.Good luck!

One way would be to get the real estate under contract, then bring an experienced partner in who also has access to capital, and stay in the deal as a minority equity partner.

Maybe, but so far the reports are about neighborhoods where people have real money.

And while nothing is foolproof the most consistent method of finding good vendors is relying on OTHER real estate investors that have worked with those vendors.
