Around here a base hit SFR sells for 80K and rents for 1100-1200/month.In this case, I would be the buyer's agent, do the searching and initial look-over of the property, run the deal (likely on my own finances through a commercial lender), and place/manage the tenants after closing.

Also I'm in search for a mentor in the Philadelphia area who can help guide me to become a successful real estate investor

Btw, if you’re searching for a wife you’ll find her in the last place you look. :)

I would also tell the agent I plan to record the contract so it shows up on the title search.

I am having hard time finding a place searching zillow and craigslist posts.

I am searching for rentals in other markets other than my own.

I understand the jist of wholesaling and have the tools to speak with sellers over the phone.

There  is a MHP Park university that you can search on line.

Search "Ocean Point" on here or "Ocean Pointe" and you'll see exactly why real/local due diligence is paramount.  

I'm search of a handyman in the Mobile, AL area asap.
