I’m trying to figure out how to get my foot in the door of real estate investing, specifically flipping and renting.

So you could be shooting yourself in the foot with a Pic--you never know.I just can't see a photo being any benefit to a buy/sell situation--A good strong offer and the ability to close is what it takes.It may or may not be legal, but your agent doesn't seem to want to open any can of worms with it--(err's on cautious side).Just my 2 cents.

Tax Attorney's normally deal with more complex tax related issues than a CPA.I would expect a Tax Attorney to be dealing with issues such as1) International Tax Law / Transfer Pricing2) Drafting a Private Letter Ruling(PLR) with the IRS confirming that a tax position they will tax is blessed.3) Confirming or understanding recent tax law changes / updates4) Taxation rules for companies who operate over multiple states.Best of luck

Is it normal for sellers to allow prospective buyers to tour every single unit?

My main goal is to start my real estate journey on the right foot and set myself up for success.Other questions:Is the Phoenix market too saturated due to the huge influx of people moving there? 

Mass housing stats for September, returning to normal?

Do banks consider that income the same way they do normal rent? 

I would love to hear your input on if this is normal to see, or if the purchasing prices are getting out of hand.

Normally, the Insurance coverage should follow the owner of the property (from title).  

Normally I'd go in once or twice a week and adjust my prices with a target range of 40-60% occupied over the next 30 days.
