You need to be of legal age to do any of this.I am not here to crush anyone's dreams so take my response with a grain of salt and let's all hope I am wrong.

Our team hosts multiple free events every month under the name "Simplified Real Estate Investing Meetup" with local guest speakers presenting their REI stories in addition to a ton of networking and awesome food & drinks. 

However, she is also on food stamps and social security and cannot earn an income above $22K per year.

Close to the mountains, 300 days of sun, good culture, and a great food scene.Just commenting on one aspect of your post.

Any help or direction or food attorney in the Columbia Tennessee area would be greatly appreciated.

If you think rates are coming down next year, i would do whichever gives you no PPP. if you think we are going to be in this interest rate mess for a while, then i would consider something longer-term. also, you mentioned ARV and rehab budget -- this tells me you intend to value-add, and will want to access that equity down the road....Im not here to tell you what to do or what not to do, everyone has a different level of risk tolerance. so take this next part with a grain of salt: I think you're trying to take on too much for one project. 

This actually extends to first time renters as well...it is surprising to me how often people do not understand basic functionality of food disposers and plumbing in general; circuit breakers; GFCI outlets; 110v vs 220v outlets; ceiling fans (pulling air upwards, or pushing it down?)

The tenants need to put food products in Kerr jars and be diligent at cleaning up spillsIf you want chemicals here are some: https://www.domyown.com/ants-c...Wasps are more difficult.
