I'd be willing to bet that people were saying something like that in 1919!

I would bet that something is going on that they are not telling you.  

So if you can qualify without any kind of income, that would be your best bet. 

If you start over with an inspection now, well, bet the units are a total disaster and mess with long term tenants. 

I’m very interested in working with rental properties but I do not have enough saved up and getting a loan as a college student is unlikely.Would wholesaling be my best bet for raising capital and then branching out into other strategies later down the road?

Also, you're paying $500/mo, who knows how because my bet is most 1-bedroom places there go for well over $1,000.

Honestly I just feel so confident a downturn is around the corner that I want to get enough experience of working a couple of smaller deals now so I won't be so skittish to get real deals when it happens.My gut says doing the legwork to find inexpensive duplexes we rehab to hold for a significant period of time is the safest bet if I feel like I just have to jump in right now but I would love to get whatever advice anyone has to offer.  

If it's the same Agent or the same Broker supervising both Listing Agents, you MIGHT have a better chance, but I wouldn't bet on it. 

Yes.Is it common or plausible or something to bet on?

It's a safe bet for this guy!
