Otherwise, it's a pain in butt to write up all those offers. 

It costs some real money to put a team of advisers together, university administrators, teachers in specialty areas of business, legal council, a CPA, special software built for educational development, technical support and (thousands of) hours of coordination and management as well as content development before the doors are opened.

You need to be able to ride out a short term situation when everything goes wrong without causing too much pain.

I have also heard of some people reaching out to school coaches, counselors, administrators etc to find good tenants.  

While some are scammers, some are immoral, some take advantage, some lie, etc, not All are that way (just as there are bad or poor operators in any business).So if you don’t like wholesaling or wholesalers, we all get your pain, but to continue these threads over and over is a waste of everybody’s time and brings out those who want to troll (which is also a forum violation).

There will be some growing pains as I look to do this, most likely purchasing a property I will need to do some heavy renovations on before I can rent it out, but I made sure to find an experienced realtor, and one who has invested herself. 

  :)Is PA a pain for lenders foreclosing also? 

I see more graduate students and administrative staff in the hoses I manage though I have had undergraduates in the past.  

I don't think this would work for your current situation, generally 401k administrators won't let you roll funds out of the plan until you separate from the company, and I doubt that you have substantial funds outside of your current 401k at 29 (although if wrong, then you're a rockstar and awesome at saving for retirement.)

Most pain on real estate comes from keeping your expenses.
