But I’d be willing to bet it won’t hold the record for long.Local multiple listing services and individual real estate firms have listed and sold properties online for decades.

This means that as of now my goals are very general: to learn more about RE investing, determine solid methods for purchasing without my own money (b/c I'm a poor college student), how to get my business off the ground, and wholesaling as a starting point. 

Your best bet is to call around and present your question to local banks, small local credit unions, and the national SFR buy-to-rent finance companies such as B2R, Colony and Firstkey and compare terms, rates and fees.  

Normally I would go $750 first unless you have a reason to believe the lower rate ($700)  is correct (not as big as your other units, located more poorly, bad parking, funny layout) If you have a specific tenant he wants you  to accept at a lower rent to get it filled do this only if the tenant is qualified otherwise and you are happy with it.

Anything that constitutes a major inconvenience to the tenant, such that a reasonable court would find one negligent for not addressing quickly, constitutes an urgent maintenance need.Example of the former: leaking water, gas, exposed live electrical wires, smoking in electrical panel, dangerous leaning tree, etc.Example of the latter: poor heat performance of heating system; clogged gutters overflowing causing basement dampness; etc. 

On the shelf, I noticed "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", read the outline and it struck a chord with me, so I bought it.

Older residential properties in poor repair are likely to be picked up and ploughed under as part of secondary commercial redevelopment. 

My impression of your "account advisor" was poor.
