I can choose the settings, ex: if my average daily water usage is 150 gallons, I choose to be notified anytime the daily water usage exceeds 200 gallons.

No matter which strategy you choose, the seller will likely want a down payment as well, so keep that in mind

If you choose the right stock brokerage, they will lend you up to 66% of your stock / bond value at interest rates around 2.1%, interest only, unlimited term. 

So I’m ready to get out there, the only thing I have left to do is figure out what legal entity to choose and what bank to start my business account with.My short term goals are to source enough deals to either wholesale or sale for retail with a realtor who will split with me.

You can say "I will beat any offer by $500 (or whatever number you choose) up to $110K". 

Most people who wait now will end up waiting another 20 years or the rest of their life. choosing not to do a deal now has more to do with conscious or subconscious fears than it does wisdom or strategy.

Kind of depends on the state you are going to work within and figure out what they allow first, then choose from those options. 

Our debt includes a car balance of 15k at 4.5% apr and school loans of 10k at 4 %. i will definitely learn more about the investment route i choose before taking the plunge thanks for that advise.

Choose a specific area and become more of an expert in that area. 

I would need to have a good reason to choose a different market.Good luck with whatever you decide.
