You are so late in the process you don't really get leads if you bought a home that you inspected there so I don't think it will enhance your investing and if anything I think you should start investing first and then become an inspector. 

Again, just going for the thought exercise if the 2-6% double close transaction fees in Philadelphia could be legally avoided 

If all else fails you pretty much have to go find the pieces of the puzzle yourself: track down utility consumption figures from each provider, confirm property tax amounts with the municipality, and try and estimate what you expect you'll need for R&M and CapEx - this can be tough if you don't have a lot of experience but it's still a necessary exercise even if the seller does have solid financials to share.

If you want to build a business get some capital and have a reserve like 6 months personal and 6 months business.For chunk cash, I would do lease option assignments, bank 50% of the money,  and pay down bad debt (student loans and credit cards) for the other 50%.Buy and hold investments when you are broke is hard, you need reserves.Remember to take 40% for Mr IRS.And @Bill G will say it is not your option money (that is assigned) until the deal is finished (option exercised or nullified).But I disagree.

I am now ready to put it in practical exercise but will also need a team and a knowledgeable Investor friendly real estate agent in the area.

I fear you haven't gone through the exercise (or haven't led on that you have) and not doing so puts you in the dark.The 1% rule is a bunch of nonsense at this stage, and no one cares if you're hitting it or not.

I'll be exercising patience and hoping for miracles in the meantime.

All the hour, 2 hour long youtube videos are informative, but still don't give out 100% of the information as they are just one long teaser for some guru promotion.Also, would it be profitable and wise to incorporate yourself a profit in the backend of the L/O as well, as is done in a sandwich lease option, where you get paid when the option to buy is exercised at the end of the lease, or is it much wiser, less liability, and outweighs the risks to just collect your option assignment fee in the beginning and move on.Thanks
