There are 2 websites that you should check out 1 is realestateexpress.com and the other is prepagent.com both are great websites but I personally like prepagent.com better I feel like they have more to offer and for a cheaper price and with prepagent you can select the state you want to get your license in and they will formulate the course specifically for your state.

If you've used them, do you mind sharing what you used them for, and do you feel like it was worth the investment? 

Originally I owned property in more than one state, NY and MA, so I can obtain reports by state.As to customer and jobs, in your setup, units are associated with customers and jobs with tenants.

I wasn't happy)I got to deposit the biggest check I've ever received on Friday and it was a pretty awesome feeling.  

I feel really upset by the time and energy we wasted with both properties, but I wanted to ask how common this is for sellers and agents to do?

I have been doing a lot of reading and researching (on biggerpockets and else wear), but feel stuck/nervous about getting into my first investment.

Try a couple small local banks and big banks and find someone you feel comfortable with and who has the best rate (take into consideration closing costs and other fees, not just APR.)

Yes you can do that, but of course the IRS can always challenge your valuation if they feel it does not reflect "fair market value".
