To start off, I listen to BP podcasts everyday(their info is GOLD), I have read and am reading some real estate books, I have been budgeting and saving my money, and practicing to get the right mindset and habits in place.

In my opinion, the most important point that Scott makes about building financial runway is that by living frugally and saving so aggressively within such a short time frame, you develop the mindset and habits required to accumulate wealth AND mitigate risk. 

I started putting my focus on finance books and podcasts and started to develop much better spending habits.

I agree with you Rich on the "stupid offer" idea - honestly there is no harm coming in super low to see if it sticks.

Veteran is just time but they have bad habits/ same habits as anybody else.

Turn your momentum into positive habits.

You’ll need a business license (and pay taxes) to get a rental suitability license, which basically says the house is habitable, has smoke detectors, etc. in certain cases they can/do inspect, but it’s not common from what I understand.

I've unfortunately had to turnover a few tenants in RI in similar situations, i.e. bad previous landlord mismanaged and developed bad habits or just got bad tenants to begin with.

I'd consider two of the units uninhabitable and the other two are barely habitable. 

In time I would be interested if this causes a shift in residential habits.
