I am seeking employment/mentorship for after graduation to continue enhancing my knowledge and be ready to start investing as soon as possible.

Good thing since I can't build a deck or tape and texture for nothin'. 

For any cons, are there risk mitigating factors and enhanced screening criteria that help?

So I think they are good.I would add that you might include a section on the site improvements and enhancements that have been incorporated already (since last announcement), and those that are planned for the near-term future and longer-term future.

Hi my name Sandra R and I am new to the BP and upgraded to Pro to further enhance my knowledge on REI.

Property Improvements: Keep your properties well-maintained and consider making strategic improvements that can enhance value.

Whether a small drywall patch/texture match to painting, fencing, flooring and much more!

Investing in a syndication with borrowed money can enhance your returns, but it comes with the trade-off of increased risk.  

So here are my questions... does the fact that the lot has a slab on it already enhance or impede the value of the lot?

It is important that you find individuals that will not only enhance your business but you can do the same for them.
