I am a fast learner with a deep appetite for knowledge and an incredible self-drive.

i have been working in the real state business for many years but as a home Improvement contractor, me and my wife run our own business and have been working with many real state investors , and thats why we have taken the steps towards starting with real state investing ourselves and look for guidance from experience investors like your self

There is a lot you can learn just through self education. 

You have to be a self-starter though since there isn't a true physical office to head into on a daily basis - most all of the training and support is online. 

The problem is that the seller is represented by a Realtor, and I also am a Realtor.I just want to make sure that I don't get my self into any ethical issues with discussing the furnishings and then if I ask for repairs.My intentions were to let the listing agent know that I was going to call and discuss the contents of the home, and then based on those conversations ask for repairs, if any.Any insight on how best to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated.

We self manage and do not want to live in those areas. - One building, or 2 if very close together- No student, affordable or high rise housing- Built after 1980I understand that we’re looking for a needle in the haystack given the current market conditions, but would appreciate any advice on other sources to look into!

The foundation for successful long term real estate investing is the self control and financial discipline to continually save money for future investments.

I invest my Roth self directed IRA in syndications.

Not sure I feel to confident with this at first glance.I'd recommend paying yourself if you're self managing as it's time/energy and (i'm assuming) at some point in the future, you'll hire a PM?
