This allowed me to save money to invest in real estate when I turned 18 however I have minimal past income. 

Plenty of samples online; tailor to your transaction.

Utilities are a big one and keep in mind that there is 4 of everything now so plan to save as much as the cash flow as you can to build up a reserve for when stuff breaks.

In this way if tenants dispute items and it takes awhile for CAM to get sorted out then new owner can pull from seller reserve and then whatever is not used for short fall is then released to seller.Even if expenses are fully paid for by tenants you still want to keep costs as low as possible an still save where you can. 

Will save you a ton of money and time .

I can’t imagine going through a short sale in order to save $7000.

For now, save your money up front and get experience talking to sellers yourself, then you'll know how to tell Pat Live what you want out of their service

@Sam LLoyd the loans I qualified for online with my credit score were around 4.5% some around 5% a couple around 4.3%.

Also, do I do that for all credit cards or just mine and keep my wife’s going for a chance to save her credit score?

Save all of the money you can and then when you turn 18 try to start building your credit.
