Interestingly before buying this property I did do jetting the sewer line per inspection recommendation as the inspector could not scope the line due to back up!

Considering the local anti landlord laws what would be the best way to handle this to avoid any potential issues from the legal perspective?

If you are correct about the 1 year warranty, you might not have a legal claim - unless you brought the grading issue to the builder's attention prior to the 1 year period.

I was curious if anyone would recommend the National Notary Association's training package for this.

As a brand new agent, what would you recommend I focus on, especially when it comes to lead gen.

. $140 equity in our primary residence that we’d be open to getting a HELOC on (would love feedback on if people recommend this or not).Given our limited available resources for down payment, high home prices, and higher interest rates, is now a bad time for first time investors to enter the market?

Anybody recommend other interesting events to go to for the same purpose?

Anytime a legal matter is of concern, it’s helpful to include the State where the property is located and perhaps other pertinent details that would be useful. 

They recommended a standard rental policy with an umbrella policy on top.

It is always recommended to use the LLC but in cases where you don't often check your mail then I would use my home address.
