These books have inspired my future habits with money already and I can't wait to get started.

I spend zero time screening any applicant below 650 and save a vast amount of time that would be wasted "analysing" personal background history on those that clearly have bad habits.  

Something to think about: your goal of attending networking events sounds more like a habit you need to perform to reach a goal.

RE, though, has the nasty habit of making you pay to get away.

That is to say, your cost basis will be proportionally lower than the absolute cost to make the house fully habitable, while many investors are too intimidated to take on the project.

I don't want to make a habit of this for all my tenants.

Just looked at the photos and I would have a pretty long list of repairs, fix ups, concerns (pages and pages and pages).I love horse racing, but this one looks like a long shot for the novice, apprentice property jockey...I would think you have some stakes level tenant and property issues to handle right out of the gate (I can see potential mold, maybe lead paint, vinyl asbestos tile, habitability issues, lots of remodeling etc.)....

@Joseph Doyle - I find it is usually a little bit of  a gray area related to the numbers when you are also needing a habitable place for you and your family. 

If he starts to make it a habit you tell him the next time you will just go ahead and evict.
