Thanks @Mike Dorneman I'll work it out with either a neighbor or a friend that lives in PA just a little more than the 20 mile range but not much more than 20.

Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52761-the-simple-guide-to-getting-started-on-bp The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciatedThe last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

The previous occupant was a good friend of mine, so I've been in the house many times.

Hey everyone, I’ve recently tried to reach out to title companies to ask if they’re “wholesaler friendly”.

People who lend money professionally.I think of Private lenders as parents, family, friends, buddies, associates and interested doctors, dentists, and businessmen who want to invest some money but don't necessarily do so on a regular basis.

Maybe a family friend who could use a couple hundred a week and is responsible and has some free time to give you some sanity and time to find more deals 

Here's my overall plan:I graduate in 2019 and immediately start working and building creditI live with my parents (they've agreed to let me) until I have a decent income from real estate.I have to go to college but I'm going community and my father has agreed to pay for my student fees so there's no concern thereHere's where it starts getting good...My longtime friend (since kindergarten) is VERY entrepreneurial and is also the son of a contractor and is planning on going into contract work.

I've been advising friends to look--for the longterm-- at communities just north of Denton.

I bought my first Investment Property 21 years ago.Just before that, I asked almost ALL my friends and Family to join in with me.No one wanted to do it.

If there are people not paying but still living in the units then you would see a drop in your economic occupancy number and then you may have a property management issue or may be in a state where the laws are not very landlord friendly.
