It's good that you have a 15+ year picture, everyone wants to get rich in a year it seems.I agree with @Tom Parris comments about property age. 

@Cherry Patterson You have received a great feedback from @Brian BurkeI  want to give some food for thought on #4.

On inspection, I saw there was a lot of food dribbles and spills from the fridges and the outer door was left open.

I am looking to house hack or live in flip in the next 2-5 years.My long term goal in life is to build a permaculture food forest and community of friends and family to live in harmony and cooperation with our environment and each other. 

This is just to find the right avenue to intelligently navigate those two opposite currents of being able to have a license and apply my acquired knowledge to be a succesful real estate investor without having that sword of Damocles called the Law hanging over my soon-to-be rich head.I welcome all suggestions and please rest assured that your solicitude is greatly appreciated.Thank you for taking your valuable time to read this missive.

While I'm not here to bash any particular 'guru' I am here to inform some of the new(er) investors before they purchase any of these high priced courses to riches. 1.

Ashley, hopefully you are not reading the books about how to get rich with no money down.

Welcome.That said, I'm with Jon and Rich here.
