I became licensed at 18 right out of high school, I have been doing it for 2.5 years. I joined a team to help learn, have support, and guidance. If you are 18 and have no clue what to do I highly recommend a team for help. After you get your feet wet after 2-3 years you can go on your own. Tips to help is find what niche you love, for me it was investing and working with OOS clients. Another tip is have a consistent schedule so you are doing everything you need to. When you work with investors it's about generating good deals on or off market. When you are an agent you need to be honest, detailed, educated, and well spoken so clients see past your age. Always be learning and best of luck. Beauty of Real Estate is it's all up to the hard work you put in.

There is portfolios out there that size. Not super common but you just need to connect to find them. One example is I was cold calling and an investor had 10 duplexes and 68 SFH he wanted to dump out of his portfolio, he wanted to focus on only large multi. Just need to connect with people and see what happens. You'd be surprised the opportunities that come up when you focus on finding them

Be thorough, observe the big ticket items, look at the neighbors and neighborhood, if you can bring a GC then do that, and ask questions

Tricky part about mold is figuring out it's source. Is the foundation block or need sealing? You'll have to demo that portion where the mold is and go from there. Regarding roof i'd have a roofer go out and see how long they think and go from there. You can always negotiate. Biggest thing is it comes down to numbers and return on whatever needs to be done.

It's usually an automatic pass if there is no address and it's vague. As far as signing an NDA that's time wasted and I have never seen that for wholesale deals in my area. If you have the relationship with the seller and have the contract in place you should be okay. There will always be people trying to go to the seller behind your back, relationship is key.
