I am looking to wholesaling as a way for me to pay for schooling, so there is my motivation.I have mainly been working towards gaining context and shadowing my father and uncle, now I need to take action.Again, would like advice/insight.

I would pay off debts if you have any.

Plenty of the terms are (somewhat) negotiable depending on the borrower, LTV, debt service coverage, collateral, etc. 

Mainly due to the fact that I was going through a 2 month closing process which is a long story and doesn't matter.

The city just redesign the main road.

Clear all other debt and push your credit score as high as you can.

Also, is there any other way to research if a property has existing mortgages/liens/debts besides going through a title company?

Should I focus on just securing funds for the down payment and closing costs or should I be concerned about creating some sort of reserves for said rental property (to account for any vacancies and expenses)I assume I need to make sure that in the event I cannot rent out the property we are able to cover the expenses relating to this house in additional to our own personal mortgages but I’m not too worried about this (please let me know if I should be worried)Outside of my mortgage and some credit card debt which will be paid off by the end of this month I do not have any other debt.Are there other factors that I should be considering?

Their debt?

Not concerned so much about cost (although of course that is important) but the main thing is how well they will handle claims.
