@Javian Moorman Plenty of CHA appliants out there...you just need to market to them on the open market like you would any rental and they will come. 

There are some that will post on the Bigger Pockets market place but you'll find tons of them on Facebook.  

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

You asked about the risks and benefits of using leverage in real estate investing.The reality is leverage cannot be avoided, usually, in real estate investing.The risks are you get over-leveraged and your don't have enough cashflow and reserves to weather a market shift, extended vacancy, or major repair.The advantage is you increase your ROI by using other people's money and as little of your own money as possible.

Why not house hack where you go to college and put 3.5 to 5 percent down instead of 20 percent?

Paint an alluring picture of what the buyers life could look like.Lastly, remember fair housing rules (although a flat fee broker should review and eliminate any violations as part of their quality control process).

Albeit paid her share of the rent, as metropolitan housing paid about 80% for her.

Are there any seasoned RE agents/ REI that have experience with the Philadelphia/ DE markets.

BP will help you find Capital Market type hard money lenders.

I haven't explored the market yet for that product.
