Thank you all so much for your advice, and I look forward to taking action and using it all.Best luck to all!

Again, it all comes back to the solution provided for the amount of money exchanged and value to you as the consumer in this case.

Get a specialist. 8 Failure on your part to take action may open you up to a lawsuit from your residents.

Your answers will determine the best course of action for you, whether that's stocks (which as of my post are on sale!)

@Sean Sloop Awesome job taking action!

Im getting married and a couple kids will be on the way in the next 3-5 years so I am inclined to finance a deal now to take action however I don’t want to be more risky than necessary.

@Michael Frias,There's no black and white answer as to what the best course of action is for getting into real estate.That said, I kind of like what @Ryan Luby said about wholesaling being a good option if it's something that comes to you. 

Just heard some concerns from Gary Keller about $3T student loan debt outpacing consumer debt at a two to one ratio.

The second big action item is that you cannot advertise that you do not accept Section 8 vouchers. 

Go read some consumer-written reviews, google business or yelp, or wherever you like to read reviews that isn't pay-to-play (JD Powers, BBB, etc, are p2p).
