(I didn't want to wholesale because I discovered I can send a lot of buyers and sellers to realtors as long as I got a real estate license which will be completed shortly.)However, my hang up is how much should I be asking investor's for since my only intent is to find the property, and then assign it into a new partnership.

Spend the free time (however little it is) going to meetup.com (and other) real estate gatherings in your area for multifamily owners (to purchase you may need to partner with an existing owner as your deal sponsor with cash, net worth and experience to qualify for the loan).You're not going to learn this overnight, it's a rather large body of knowledge.Also while you're doing this hang out in this forum a lot and learn things here.A new job where you can Earn A LOT more money would also come in handy.In addition to that, read Rich Dad Poor Dad.Over time, other options to make money in this business may open up for you--so be open to them also.Good Luck! 

I should hang on to it because I don't know where the next one will come from."

Is this a good idea, or should I just hang onto it as is for now?

No, we hang our license with a broker, the license is a sales license, not a broker license.

Without keeping renewals up to date, the owner has a big liability hanging over their head since a tenant could move at any point once the lease goes month-to-month. 

Thanks If you are hanging onto the property you can Quit Claim you onto title.

Tenants should be responsible for repairs necessitated by abuse or neglect.

"Absolutely not (hangs up phone)".This is a numbers game and it gets a hell of a lot easier after you get your 1st unit, keep going!
