Since part of our screening policy is checking the prospective tenants' clothes and car for cleanliness, we are able to weed out the unclean/lazy ones.

Here is a little financial background: 100K cash, 50K salary, 750+ credit score, current home 220K paid off, and about 35K long term debts-student loan and 5yr car note.

That would be like a car dealer doing a credit check before you're allowed to come into the dealership.  

I just found a job this month, so I'll be able to get a car in the near future, but I don't want to keep finding excuses to put off real estate.Without a car I can't drive for dollars, meet people to network with, or access information at the courthouse.What can I do right now that will help me towards finding deals?

Writing about how to drive a car wouldn't make sense . . .

I almost lost control of my car when I heard that comment by Brandon.

Carl - I wouldn't go back more than 3-6 months.  

Maybe borrow the remaining down payment with a personal loan, car title loan (a real one, at a bank for 5-9% interest), CC balance transfer check at 0% for 18 months (assuming you have a plan to pay it back), etc.If you wanted to make the house your personal residence, you could put down 5% and pay PMI for a year.  

Along the line with that niche would be a place to store their tailors they hook up to their cars when shopping at a hardware store or ikea.

50% of 5,000 is better than 100% of 0.Let us reverse the situation, I pose to you that I have 2 Million cold hard cash sitting in the trunk of my car and I want to buy an apartment complex, would you believe me?
