I don't see that you lost any money in the deal so I would just start over and not waste mental energy on the colossal errors of this former agent and team.

That could boost cash-flow and make this a fantastic deal. 

I feel at this point trapped by the Analysis Paralysis syndrome, as well as time and energy starvation due to a full time job and role as a single parent.  

Might see a boost in values now that the Fed dropped rates. 

The modern features and amenities can attract renters, and energy-efficient designs might help keep utility bills down.

Nice one on the energy clause!

As an 18-year-old agent, own your energy and hustle—clients will respect your drive.

This strategy not only enhances the property’s value but also boosts your returns, unlike buying a turnkey property where the potential for value addition is minimal.Best of luck with your investment! 

There's time, money and energy that goes into getting your license.

I'm an active investor so I spend the time/energy in sourcing and managing my own rentals, I am also in a very favorable location to own rentals here in Memphis so I do it myself.
