Congrats on taking the first steps to getting your real estate investing career off and running.

If they're tucked out of the way, and are blocked off to avoid anyone stepping on them, they should be fine.Both the wall and the floor units must be properly vented.

yes your steps are correct.

Failure to correct within the time period, or repeating the same breach after the period, typically is grounds for lease termination, or some other step according to local law, and the tenant may be required to pay costs/damages as well.I would be quite surprised if the landlord were able to convince a judge to deduct the cost of mowing your yard under the circumstances you suggest.

I feel like I've already missed my first step by not start earlier with real estate - it almost seems unfair (from what I've read).

My next step I think is to set up either an S or C-corp.

Hey... good for you for taking the step back in.

The best way to analyze real estate cash flow is to complete an APOD (Annual Property Operating Data) worksheet, including all cash flows and tax implecations (taxing & depreciation/cost recovery) to determine the before and after tax ownership benefit (or loss).This is only the first step in analyzing a property's performance.

Next step: Marketing.

The only time you should run title searches is when you’re buying from the courthouse steps or working with preforeclosures, neither of which I would recommend.Your buyer’s lender will typically determine when and where escrow will be opened.The fast-paced nature of wholesaling makes running title searches prior to making offers and signing contracts impractical.
