If the buyer is going to be using a VA loan then your problem won’t necessarily be the sale but the inspection of the property.

I'm looking to see if there is an opportunity get more experience in the real estate world on a part-time basis.

In addition to the above, once you put your apartment online for rent...you will know if it's reasonable or not based on the number of inquiries you receive.I just placed my 1/1 w/ Office online and received 60+ inquiries within 2 weeks.

Or just continue paying for our rented apartment while we put that 90K into real estate that can generate income (then later potentially buy a home)?

So I had lived in an apartment complex for about a year when I left about 2 months early for an internship.

I will check with Alamo Home Inspections (a local home inspector that specializes in log cabins) to see what he advises.  

You can also give notice that you will be improving the apartments which naturally means an increase in rent.

if need be let it go before my inspection period is over.

First you have to decide what your reason for investing is So, Decide which kind of investor you want to be (SFR, Commercial, Land, Tax Liens, Passive, HML, Multi-Family, Notes, Fix & Flip, Buy & Hold, "Subject To", apartments, duplexes, assisted living, REOs, Foreclosures, Short Sales), etc.

I would try breaking that apart and including it in the applicable expense category (PM, CAPEX, Repairs, Vacancy, etc.)Overall though, I wouldn't be too excited about this property.
