The title company said that the seller acquired these properties, along with the liens and judgments through the quitclaim, and because I am the first in the chain of many sellers to buy this how to require title insurance, this issue is surfacing for me.

I would propose there are a few factors when considering this decision:1) Most RE agent licensing will only scratch the surface of RE law, so the education you do get during your studies may not prove fruitful in acquiring or investing in RE 2) You have to compare the costs of the license and to maintain it every year to what you would actually save or make in commissions3) Make sure the broker you plan to work with is friendly to investors, they have a vested interest in their agents to get listings and do traditional deals, I know a few agents who don't quite fit in at their offices, I've heard Keller Williams in general is the most investor friendly. 

You will want a Buyer’s agent representing you.Well, I have typed and typed - but it only scratches the surface of what you need to know before you invest.

well i am just scratching the surface of investing but i would say 2-4 units so i can househack it.

We just hear about cinco de mayo, and flag difficulties, but there is a whole lot going on under the surface and under our noses.

It looks good from the surface but we are not experienced investors.I do not have a lot of experience with inspections.

They look great on the surface but when I do my own due diligence that 40% unverified and unresearched gain offered by wholesales gets down to around 10% many times.

There is also usually very little on the severing of mineral rights from surface rights. 

Use that to fill the gouges almost level with the existing plaster surface, then fill in the rest with a nice even skim coat.  

Seems like a solid deal on the surface!
