As an investor-friendly realtor (who is an investor herself), I like to think of myself as your defense against making an unintentional error due to inexperience or lack of knowledge.

It may be inexperience talking because I have zero but I have a feeling it will be a long process for the seller to get this tenant out.  

You need to make sure you have an idea of what you're doing, but don't let inexperience hold you back. 

It would be a good idea to have objective criteria for folks coming in or the spread in experience would make some folks unable to contribute on a meaningful level.

Your biggest hurdle is your inexperience.

I explained to my broker what had happened and immediately called the buyer’s agent to explain, apologize and wrote her clients a check for the cost of their inspection.At this point, I knew the contractor had blatantly lied to me and taken advantage of my trusting nature and inexperience.

Inexperience, I can deal with.

I then contacted the mentors and told them this deal was more than I could do with my work schedule and inexperience.

I've become addicted to knowing more about investing and how I can make my life, and my families lives, comfortable and living a free life.I am extremely interested in creative investing (subject to, lease option, owner financing etc..) and have almost closed on two very profitable deals - which unfortunately fell through due to my inexperience (not addressing certain things immediately) and the sellers family talking them out of it (bummer).I am highly motivated and within the last two months I've built a website that is already ranking on page one of google, connected with other 100+ real estate agents, met a few other investors (some nice - some not), spoken to at least 30 FSBO practicing what to say and how, learned the process of flipping, wholesaling, creative investing and continuing to do so every single day.My main goal is to get my first deal under my belt so I can get out from my student loan debt and to prove to those doubting me that this is my true calling and it does in fact work.

The septic on that many units is just a risk that I can not accept at this time (most likely a product of my inexperience, but I would not sleep well at night with this variable).
