I am interested in any and all advice you might have for me at this point because I would rather spend a hundred hours reading and learning instead of learning some hard lessons by experience.

On top of that the kitchen sink and pipes are clogged with cooking oils and grease.

A lot of people here seem (to me at least) to have turned real estate into a job.If you'd rather spend your energy, say perhaps working a job that gives you $25k to invest in turnkey properties, that is perfectly fine and even reasonable.If you do go turnkey, be sure to check the company and the deal out thoroughly. 

If this happens it's going to put me at a negative cash flow position.I want to make an appeal but I dont know how to go about doing so or if I even have a case to make.

That is like saying "I went to BK and told the manager I'd buy a Whopper but the cook has to only make $9.15 cents this hour""I went to Tractor Supply and told the manager I'd buy some feed but the cashier has to get minimum wage minus 80 cents for the time she helped me""I had my car painted but the guy that taped it up has to only get $18.50 cents an hour while he does it"Sure they may say ..."

I have dabbled in an MLM before and it did not work for me at the time, so great job there.

Good morning all,I believe I’m finally ready to list my first property today which is a townhouse located in Hoffman Estates, IL (Cook County).

I’ll let her rent it from me (At and extremely low rate that won’t cover the new mortgage, but again, it’s mom!). 

Any way you cook the numbers leveraged funds is MORE profit then all cash, unless you get into InsanOworld kind of numbers like 24.99% interest rate.
