I'm just thinking of the different scenarios I may encounter once it's actually time to purchase these investment properties.

Do not think you can just start an investment company with 15k (that is reserves only on one property).Work for the next couple of years while you all learn and use your skills to help build the foundation of a future company and leverage your relationship with the alumni to see some of his properties and learn.

The lending is strict but the terms are great.

When my places with section 8 tenants are inspected yearly the inspectors just want to be sure that the paint isn’t flaking and thereby causing a situation that a small child may ingest the paint chips.

Partnering with a wholesaler sounds fine, but check the real estate licensing laws in your state before bringing a buyer for a commission.You might consider getting your real estate agent's license and legitimately earn what your skills, drive, and experience truly command. exactly wholesaling or bird dogging is not a life time or long time occupation  RE sales can be lifetime and if your any good at it at about year 10 you should be getting all your sales from referrals and such.

The last thing you want to do is put a deal in a contract pay money for inspection and get an appraisal when you could have just ruled it out from the start with that.

I’d recommend reaching out to see if any of them can offer a package deal for the sewer scopes you need.

It really just depends when it comes to utilities.

I'm trying to get a mortgage, but it's entirely possible that the mortgage might not cover 100% of the price of the house.
