With your savings you have some runway, but all sides of real estate cost money to make money, but you are already ahead of or with the curve by renting to travel nurses.

Yes you can look to flip a house or wholesale a deal to get your feet wet and grow, that's all good and you will learn so do go ahead and get started.

I do want the property, but knowing when to listen to people who know more than you is a sure way to get ahead.

I would recommend changing the visitation language in your lease. 2 weeks seems like a long time and I can easily see people abusing it.

Great job thinking ahead and wanting to do the right things for yourself and your child, and being proactive on finding solutions.I’d definitely start talking to more lenders.

Likely easy to manage and low vacancy due to being an A class area.It's a cool place that I would like to stay/ visit.

But I decided, with the realtor, to not go ahead with their contract. 

In fact, I've decided to go ahead and purchase this one with cash, I am selling 3 small MFs in Ohio and was going to use leverage to try to scale up but the costs/fees are just outrageous right now, it is more advantageous for me to buy this with cash and rehab it out of pocket then refi.

Go ahead and PM me and I will happily give you five or six potential syndications you can check into.
