A title company will close the deal, if you go to the "ALTA" site you can study how closings are to be conducted as well.

I have a couple of questions regarding the process:1) How many hours of study are enough to pass the test?

I'm 23 years old and currently living with my parents working odd jobs, have an associates degree (in liberal studies.. yay), 0 debt and perfect credit. 

I just closed this one out last week.Case Study –Received a motivated seller lead from Facebook.

On her first year of learning about wholesaling with some of her own tips, and after studying for about 2 weeks I think she said, she made deals on 40 run-down houses.

I wouldn't know, since I've only studied the market in SF for properties that are 1.5m and less.Further, with regards to my added point at the end: >Do you ever want to get married and have kids?

Below are the assumptions of the study:-Initial investment in all 3 scenarios is the same ($25,950 which is my total investment for my first property-Market investment return is 8% annually (I got this number from a financial planner)-Property appreciation was ignored, income and expenses remain the same, and all income from rental property is saved w/ no interest (so VERY conservative)-End date is 2056 (so 43 years) Scenario #1: Market Investment - Initial investment in 2014, no additional contributions are madeScenario #2 -One Investment Property - I just buy one property, save all rental income in a savings account with 0% interestScenario #3 - 10 Investment Properties - First property cash flows $14,129.40 per year, every 2 years cash flow from property 1 is used to purchase another identical property (same purchase price, cashflow, etc.), this is repeated every 2 years until 10 properties are aqcuiredResults:Scenario #1 ending value - $710,164Scenario #2 ending value - $920,444.04 (savings + equity)Scenario #3 ending value - $6,427,168 (savings + equity)These values were quite shocking to me and the people I have shown it too!

With that objective in mind, I’m looking towards “nicer” properties, in hopes of minimizing some of the issues that seem to come with lower income tenants/parts of town.Over the last few weeks I’ve been crunching numbers on properties on the MLS, went and observed an auction at the courthouse, have been studying the amount rental homes have been renting for, and have been driving some of the neighborhoods I’m interested in buying in.

Dawn is right on in recommending that you study everything John Fedro puts out.
