Sometimes tenants abuse "free" power by running the AC with the windows open and so on.

That's why many investors have turned to larger multifamilies, because then you're only competing with other investors.

The thing that I like the most about single family rentals is that it is dominated by small landlords.

To me, it's a good sign that mom reached out directly so she isn't taken by surprise later.  

Can I get some advice on military friendly lenders with low down payment for purchasing rental property without using the VA loan or in general, how to navigate this to start my rental property real estate journey?

We’re getting a small shopping center installed supposedly by the end of the year (Marshall’s, Tractor Supply, Grocery Outlet) plus investments in a second “downtown” strip. 

Your representation will get paid by the Seller (unless you met with the listing agent today..)

As a young investor, you can navigate the market by utilizing creative financing options, diversifying investments, and building knowledge.

I find it difficult to step into foreclosures since, in my experience, books and courses I've crossed by are very surface level.
