Are there any value add opportunities such as individually metering each unit, for water and/ or electricity, so the tenants pay these expenses and not the landlord, or is the property already individually metered?

Everyone was already planning on putting down 15-20% when financing their individual purchase.  

So my questions are:a.) what questions do I need to be asking of the ownersb.) how do I go about getting solid info on the property, re: liens etc ( I do know about the authorization of release from the bank/mortgage holder).

I believe me stating in the post "it's perfect for college students" is not necessarily an indication of preference, but merely an observation based on one individuals opinion.

Knowing the different type of mortgages and how many an individual person is able to obtain will be very beneficial to your investing career. 

The same as an individual?

As for your question about getting your real estate license, everything I've heard in my research, it seems like it's a pretty individual decision.

Hey Bob - CH11 is available to individuals but typically CH13 is a better choice. 

You will get spreadsheet view, map view, individual listings, and all of the pictures for those listings.3.$10 a month I have a person who screens out properties that are listed every day looking for listings that are 70% below assessed values.

Perhaps a whole saling individual can take the lead and keep me in the loop of the process.
