We currently have one investment property in that area and will likely pick up another in the near future. 

Expecting a pick-up for January 1st lease expirations.

Do they pick up or will they require you to contract with a waste company that will supply a dumpster and handle pickup.- If you get a dumpster, neighbors dumping in your bin may be a problem, depending on the location.

I’m also happy to share any insights I’ve picked up along the way.

A great opportunity to evaluate a deal yourself and then see how a pro like Dave evaluates deals and see if there's any insights you might not have picked up on yet.

And I understand that i am college kid with no money or experience but then you see people like Rob Beardsley who dropped out at 20 and bought a 200 unit property through syndication and then you think, hm, maybe its possible.I am fairly new to the real estate investment and what I have learned so far is choosing a mentor and attend real estate workshops then expand your network which will help you to pick up the pace, select your investment strategy and grasp the business model.

Like the others have said, pick a strategy and stick with it. 

My offer was picked above 3 others.

Quote from @Collin Hays: I love micro-managers who step over dollars to pick up dimes!

So even if you pick a state with stronger protections like WY or NV, the cause of action arose in the state where the tenant fell, so likely that the court where the accident happened would have jurisdiction.
