There's been one property where a seller himself remained living in the property after close, and I had to use holdover/eviction in court not just a sheriff to get him out even though he just sold me the house.  

If you end up doing a liner make sure to have camera inspection first to look for breaks, cracks, or tree roots. also if you need to replace the line its likely other leaks will happen in the house. the remaining old pipe may shift during and crack/break (my personal nightmare experience) just be ready to replace most of the waste lines.

Being an agent is not an easy business. 50% fail, 40% barely floating, remaining 10% is taking most of the market shares.

Investing in real estate is one of the last remaining blue collar ways for us little guys to build some actual generational-type wealth.Heck, even if you change your mind and stop after 5 houses.

You will take a small hit on your score when you apply but it will go back up within a couple months of taking out the loan (assuming your paying all your bills on time).Make sure you pay your credit card bills BEFORE the statement cuts, that way your utilization reported to the credit bureaus will remain low which will raise your score.

I have slowed down purchasing more properties as I convert the remaining 12 properties to Airbnb.
