I have never been a landlord and for all I know I might hate it.

I am young, 18 years old, and I know being this young is unethical but I would love to secure my future and provide a landlord (myself) that will take care of its tenants to the fullest.

I am a new investor so im stuck waiting the 18 months to show landlord experience.

The contractor who did most of the work has approached me with the idea of  selling the building to him on a land contract.  

This will give you experience as both a Landlord and Property Manager.

ok I don't buy a lot of flips anymore, but I did some in Vista,and mostly north county if I come across a great one I buy it but I get a lot of deals in my desk daily I can send you some of the ones I don't take I am more focus on multifamily and land development now.

Real Estate investing is very broad and some parts of it have nothing to do with people who need credit repair, like wholesalers, rehabbers, and some landlords.

I don't know what your house is like, but if you can get a lodger to rent out a room, or if you can add a separate space by inexpensively finishing a basement or attic (microwave, hot plate, mini-fridge, bathroom, + bedroom or studio), you can use that income to both pay down debt and to establish yourself as a landlord in the IRS's eyes.  6.  

The information you need should be available on line, All state/city landlord tenant regulations and codes should be readily available with a simple search.You need to know all the codes governing your business so you may as well start studying now.

If you want to invest in a real cash cow buy the community/rent the land.There is a difference between a mobile in a land lease community and on a private lot.
