When I find a property with good potential I send it out with pictures of the property, floor plans, sales comps, rental comps, and a financial projection sheet.

And this is all a matter of preference and your financial situation.

Just because somebody is pushing it, doesn't mean you should just copycat it; look into the repercussions first.

We have been landlords before (although single family) and my question is basically a financial one.

I'm a little worried that a Banker/Realtor/Lawyer won't take me seriously because of my age, but my parents said they will sign on a loan because I don't have any credit history.My major goals are to have a stream of income in college and to be financially free when I leave college.Does anyone have any advice for me?

Would it make financial sense to spend $2,000 to cover the home moving costs of a potential resident?

They will look at your financial situation, income, debt-to-income ratio, all the normal things.

If the bank can work with you, then you'll need to submit financials.

My biggest problems are the ones I stated above in my post, "Starting at 16"... not having the location (very small town with no other RE mentors around), but more importantly, the financial support.

You've got a good head on your shoulders and you're willing to take the steps necessary to learn what you can about all the areas that can secure your financial future.Good luck with your research, your real estate learning, and your future profitability.
