I'll try to find another to work with, my Realtor has very bad connections (which may explain why he has been struggling as a Realtor lol I'm trying to help him out as I go along, so far he's learning some things from me and I'm more new to all this than he is haha).

It's a bit frustrating, but submit everything piece by piece and it isn't too bad. 

I want to give renter a right to purchase at market price at end of lease and they would also get credited towards 25% of appreciation if they finish lease term and choose to buy.

@Jeff Caravalho I know one great management company in Canton.I can give you a referral for a company I believe in and trust, Clear Sky Realty, it is owned by a friend of mine (that also owns over 300 doors in Canton and Akron), the office number (will be in your inbox) (ask for Lila or Eric)also: a lot of people use Hayes Realty, however I have heard both good and bad. 

Bad part was that I was heavily involved. 

I have talked to a few people in the Real Estate Industry and have had mixed opinions as some say is a bad Idea to start as Part Time agent.I would like some Feedback either positive or negative if I'm heading in the right direction or if anyone has taken a similar approach.Thank you in advance.

As a contractor I always prefer a full gut but it does eat away the rehab cost and takes longer but no stress about plumbing, leaks, electric, lead paint and etc in the future.The patch up would cost less, fast timing, but then you are gambling with what's behind the wall and hoping nothing happens in the future.I assume most house that are purchase for BRRRR purpose are in distress/bad condition and old on some occasion.What rehab number would you go for?

Sometimes staying on the sidelines is better than buying a bad deal. 

Would to see if anyone has had any good or bad experiences.

I would get a contractor out there to give you an estimate on the repairs, then see if you could get a credit on the closing.
