Research and evaluate the current market to determine if a pet free building in your area would be more or less desirable and in line with your description of the perfect tenant base for your future.

Seems like a good way to lower costs and up the wow/desirability factor. 

I think my insurance through my desired plan provider (Kaiser Permanente) would be around $300/month. 

I have the desire to scale up but it is finding the funding.

A wholesale house would be one that is available at a significant discount from that desired by a regular home-buyer, a retail house. 

A typical agreement allows for either the asset to be sold or the partner(s) to buy out the one desiring to exit the partnership - - with significant notice to all partners.

Before you answer, please know that this home is in Waukesha County, Wisconsin where home values are higher and there is a good bit of new construction that is making this area desirable.

If you're saving your money and investing it already, the capital will be there later to invest in RE once you've got the time to focus on it.I say this because I have a 9-5 job I love and have no desire to quit ... and I'm becoming aware that real estate can adversely impact that.  

Are you making your desired return on investment?

You could simply pour a concrete cap over the foundation and allow the future owner to complete them if, and as they desire.
