Who ever does it or orders it done is probably the person you need to talk to to get the ball rolling.

I'll be 21 next month and ready to get this ball rolling!

I have not felt unsafe in any of these "areas to avoid", though even if it should go without saying, I use basic street smarts when rolling through any familiar or unfamiliar area.  

It is listed on the tax rolls as a 3/2 but, the owner added an extra bedroom and bathroom. 

I like to roll up to my appointments with them on, for branding purposes.  

It would be more like 15% - 19% assuming I could get the property at 70% ARV.I'm sure my friend could roll the whole thing but that makes me nervous.

Absolutely I would first ask for his rent rolls and proofs of deposit. 

Updated with screen grab of current rent rolls.  

Get enough cash from both and pay them both off in 10 years or find that perfect amount where you can get enough properties but roll the snowball fast enough to get the cash flow you're looking for in 10 years.

I would roll it over to a better plan on leaving (you can do that only when you leave an employer).
