My investment goals are cash primarily flowI have not yet assembled a team and realize that I will need to focus on a specific region and city (considering Tennessee - Johnson City vs Chattanooga as Nashville appears overheated) prior to pulling a team together.  

Around here many counties charge about 15k just for the privilege of connecting to water and sewer.Also consider new and used home costs and moving tear down and assembly.

I have them focusing on generating purchase business and assembling pre-approvals they can bring to realtors or open houses.

Your priority should be locating a target market that has the fundamentals you are looking for and then assembling the professionals who will assist with sourcing the best investment opportunity.

replacing the valve assembly is not required, and if you do, you will have to cut sheetrock under the plastic box as this is how they are connected from factory.

The BOTTOM LINE to all of this is to not let the seller or their attorney hold the earnest money.When I did commercial land development and we assembled parcels the hard money put down was substantial over several tracks and in the millions total.The developer I worked for told me he learned over decades to never let the seller or their attorney hold the earnest money.

I plan to spend the next few months doing research, crunching numbers for a few hundred deals, networking in local meetups, and assembling my team while I learn the best neighborhoods to invest in.

This bill recently passed the Assembly floor by a vote of 71-2. 

I know one group that has assembled several properties for long term larger projects and could make you a buck without rental brain damage.

My google-fu does not seem to be working today...Where can I purchase a double pane glass assembly (or whatever the technical term is)?
