With investors, make sure that it's YOU and your Real Estate attorney that write any sale agreements, not the investor. 

I do not plan on going on this adventure alone, but I do plan on coming in with a partner(s) in the future.

Definitely recommend paying down/off your debts before investing in RE. 

I am thinking of getting my Real Estate Agent license to hopefully able to increase my funds for future new deals. 

Im looking into seller finance for the future but I dont know yet at all.

I am reading RE Rookie 90 days to your 1st investment.

check with a local attorney there are rules for filing liens of course anyone can file them but that does not mean they were filed legally.. in most states you have to give a PRE lien notice in writing and by certified mail.. you have time limits to file it.. so if they try to cloud your title they are taking a risk of slander of title. not that they have any money to pay if they lose but you can fire back with that if you need to.

There are some extended form policies that might cover a future forged deed, but they cost extra and since title fraud (not theft since you can't lose title based on a forged deed) is uncommon, they're not issued frequently.

Then after you’ve saved up again at least a year in the future to qualify again buy another small multi family again with the 3.5% down, move into it and keep doing that every year or so for several years and you’ll build up a nice portfolio.

Most investors set up an LLC when purchasing RE.
