As a buyer, I like 20% down and to pay 6% interest only for at least 5 years. 

I see the importance of having a team to help you out, but I don't understand the portion about paying back the loan, how much I should have before investing, if there are anything different if I will be investing from another country as a citizen etc.

Most flat fee listings are willing to work with a buyer's agent and pay the buyer's agent commission.

Im trying to force the appreciation to do a cashout refi and pay of the entire loan and pull out possibly 100k.

I wouldnt count on many shops paying for your licensing/courses in this environment; most are laying off rather than hiring, and the ones that are hiring are looking for producers with volume/a book to bring over. 

In 2022 the rents increased 12.1% year over year which was the 3rd highest in the entire country per https://www.axios.com/local/cleveland/2023/02/14/cleveland-rent-prices.

I'm looking more for an overarching portfolio spreadsheet to track asset performance over the lifetime of holding the asset.If you have the property manager paying the mortgages, taxes, insurances, doing all the accounting, etc why not just ask them to generate whatever report you want?

If you can get all the bedbug containing furniture out of the place and it will sit for awhile (or let it sit while the other repairs are done) you may be able to avoid some cost, but if you want to get a paying tenant in sooner rather than later you will want to bite the bullet and get it well done.
