@Simon Ashbaugh - I am leaning more towards this route because I can take the risk while I am young and will have minimal living expenses since I live at home with family.

Quote from @Simon Ashbaugh: Hey Annmarie, it's true that sellers sometimes withhold lease information to protect tenant privacy, I do find it a bit inconvenient not having full visibility before making an offer however, the seller might be concerned about protecting the tenants' privacy.

I also am a huge podcast addict (also the name of my favorite podcatcher app). 1.5x speed, more info in less time except for music and motivational.80% is investing (BP, CFD, a few others that are just okay so far), 15% marketing (various), 5% music, motivation (Brendon Burchard), and personal interest.I'm going out on a limb here with this one, but I enjoy listening to Simon Black on Sovereign Man.
