I have also been really interested in investing in real estate, especially after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad.  

Owners and managers are the rich and greedy people in conflict with the residents. 

One other bit of advice though - if you do decide to go with a "subject to" mortgage - be sure to get a "limited power of attorney" over the mortgage so that the lender can communicate directly with you regarding payment and any further correspondence. 

Naming your PM on the policy allows they to communicate directly with the insurance company in the event of a claim.  

I guess because I knew there was nothing much unusual about the request I didn't communicate exactly why I thought it would be easier for you to comply with the request and keep the wheels of progress rolling.I'm glad it worked out for you, and I'm glad you learned something new about landlording today. 

i agree with all other posts @Michael Germinariosounds like you did everything properly no more action needed on your part,unless they call back then answer the phone and get them to communicate by emailgood luck

But as a young 18 year old I don't want to be rich but wealthy and to have financial freedom.

@Doug Pretoriuscc @Douglas DowellI agree with everything you just said.And you need to get ready for court, always, in case a TBer or Seller gets an attitude and wants something not contracted for.IMHO, sub2 and wraps need training, and need solutions for funding if the loan gets caled due to DOS clause.Sandwich lease options can be done with excellent communication and coaching of TBers with Mortgage Qualifying.Lease Option Assignments need "under promising and over delivering", keep and eqe out for how things are going. 

We empower each other and communicate on topics that matter....

I do not have any ethical qualms about this as long as communications are honest.
