So, there's a good chance that you'd have less trouble with someone that is concerned about keeping their legal status.

You may be tempted to try to evade the law and rent out the unit(s) without going through the appropriate legal steps.  

I was looking into legal zoom and legal shield.

The county will NOT change the name of the purchaser after the document been recorded.You can always draw an "in house" agreement but it's will not be at legally enforceable as the recorded document.

They 5 are: Character (reliability, integrity), Capacity (sufficient income or cash flow to service the debt), Capital (the borrower's net worth or how much of their own money they put into the deal), Collateral (the value of the assets that secure the debt), and Conditions (the borrower's situation and the state of the economy or local real estate market).

The information available is amazing, but also very overwhelming and I am not sure where to start.I'm currently in some credit card and student loan debt and looking for advice on whether it's smarter to get more in debt to be able to start with flipping/house hacking sooner, or to continue to read for the year and a half to two years or more it will take me to get rid of my debt and save enough for a down payment.  

I'm the sole member of the LLC and it has no debt and no other assets besides the rental property package for sale.

Maybe I'm wrong in this, but when I look at most opportunities, I ask myself if I could male the debt service payments if the property was 100% vacant.

Sure, there are some advantages (MLS access, acting as your own agent) to holding a license but there are disadvantages as well (you're held to a different legal standard in deals).  

You cannot legally be held to a contract, and therefore it will be much more difficult for you to get started before you turn 18.
