I agree, there can be poor instructors in a classroom setting, I've suffered through many of them.

Can't offer much advice on how to overcome the lack of confidence but as a guy that grew up with a mom that suffered from the same issues I just want to say it sounds like you're pointed in the right direction. 

There's nothing wrong with being a new agent, the problem is that most new agents (or even agents in general) treat this industry more like a hobby or a side hustle than a profession, and that is why our reputation as a whole suffers. 

If the occupant is a tenant under a written lease or oral rental agreement, the landlord must give a tenant who defaults or holds over beyond the end of the rental term or renewal period at least three (3) days' written notice to vacate the premises before the landlord files an eviction, unless the parties have contracted for a shorter or longer notice period in a written lease or agreement.A landlord who files an eviction on grounds that the tenant is holding over beyond the end of the rental term or renewal period must also comply with the tenancy termination requirements of Section 91.001 of the Texas Property Code.Tenant at Sufferance.

I don't know if my entity would suffer from such actions or if it would go unnoticed.  

And regardless of the route/structure you take there is substantial risk for the seller that you won't pay and their credit will suffer.

@Scott Schultz  deed comes in the mail 1 to 3 weeks later.. no help with evictions. the owner is now tenant at sufferance and they have 10 days in Oregon 21 in WA to move if they don't you do a normal eviction and Prey they don't destroy the home on the way out. many won't buy homes that were occupied It did not bother me.. as I would usually work some sort of deal out with them to rent back sometimes.. but that generally did not work either as once people go down that road they just can't keep it together. same here bids are day before or morning of or never.. some of the best deals are just showing up with a check and no one else has one because there was no opening bid and low and behold its a drop bid and you get a screaming deal.. there is no judge confirmation because we are trustee state.now we did go to sherrifs sales a few years back because of the mortgage mess and this has thrown a huge wrinkle into it... there is a 6 month right of redemption.. so you want to own the redemption rights prior to bidding.. there are companies that just run around acquiring these rights then you as bidder either don't know you need them or whatever and they approach you and want to sell them to you for 5 to 20k other wise you have to sit on the house for 6 months.. now you can legally kick out the owner .. but any work you do to the house other than for keeping it from getting hurt by weather etc if someone redeems you lost those rehab dollars.Also if there is a tenant with a bonafide lease the new federal law and I am sure your aware as a winning bidder you have to honor the lease for the terms of the lease.  

WE have a number of contractor friends & they are always at the mercy of their subs & temps but their reputation is what ultimately suffers. 

I have made it a point to meet and have a sit down with every case manager for every section 8 tenant because they are a great wealth of information and future leads.They will provide rental history but no medical information; I say this because if you get a veteran on the VA-SH program, some of them may be suffering from a medical ailment, as it is a program to end homelessness for veterans.  

You can maybe get a higher rent, but suffer longer vacancies or lower rent with lower vacancies but in both cases be grossing less when taking both into account.
