Here is the breakdown of the deal, would you provide your opinion on this?

@Jared Mann investing around Tinker is a good idea in my opinion. 

You are committing time to learning and researching which puts you closer to 'jumping', so to speak.Committed investors are always looking, researching, thinking, building networks with key people (bankers, agents, contractors, other investors, etc) to educate themselves and prepare themselves for when the time IS right for them to jump (that could be today, next week or next year).

.- Roof in critical condition- Lead Pipe for the Water Supply - Mold in Attic/BasementI'm curious to get opinions on the Lead Pipe, but our thinking is that we will just get the water tested.

IMO, you'd be better off taking $5k, 10k or 50K and investing it in EDUCATION. 

I'm new but being mentored by a broker who did hundreds if not thousands of BPOs through the crash (broker price opinion, sort of like a non-official appraisal for bank foreclosure and other purposes) and really knows the value of adjustments and when to draw the "not comparable" line.

My name is Nathan Story, I’m currently working with my partner on educating ourselves and learning as much as we can before we decide to progress with our investments.

And 2: is it stupid to delay or change my education to get into real estate sooner?

Always love hearing other ideas/opinions/experiences.
