Doctor the photos.

You are trying to use a technique to get started.http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/3/blog_posts/17-be-the-doctor-to-home-sellers-problemsRead that and get the seller on your side, then discuss cash or terms.

Then my aunt proceeded to tell me why her husband was supposedly the wealthiest doctor out of his entire graduating class.

Here's the thing; a doctor doesn't perform operations the first month he's practicing medicine.

Legally you can use some of the space for a home office, especially if you own a business and write off a small percentage of your housing expenses asoicted with your 'office' I do not think you can legally use it for a hair salon, retail, doctor office, ect. 

I feel it's comparable to me deciding to become a doctor and asking questions about How do I draw blood?  

Like Doctors, RE Agents practice in certain areas, many are clueless about the investment side, most are just retail.

Gain experience and credibility, and you'll be able to go solo in 1-2 years after doing 10+ deals.B) Consider going to a doctor.

Makes no difference to me as I take a average of 3500 dollars in deposits.Lol I’m not going to doctor up a fake receipt over a few bucks. 

I'm concerned because my husband and I are both recently graduated doctors and still have a very large combined student loan debt (approx 575,000 combined - I know, it's insanity) plus car loans (about 32,000 combined) and credit card debt (about 11,000).
