You may or may not be replacing the sheet rock, interior plumbing & electrical, cabinets, fixtures, etc.  

Just by nature of having to source new deals on your own requires a tremendous amount of work.

One of my banks is dumb as a rock, then Wells Fargo a true business smarts bank saw my POA and check, poof I deposited it.#2 you'll buy another policy a landlord policy assuming you'll rent this property, BUT the trick is the original seller MUST be listed first, then the bank as ALTMA then you or your entity. 

It could also potentially be an interesting second home option if you set it out in a little more secluded area away from the city where people could have a little space and access to nature etc..I would be interested to hear if anyone has come up with a model for something like this that could be profitable.

Whether this property works out or not we want to have private lending in place and ready to rock for the next one as we are close to maxed out on our own funds.

One of the first 3 rules of real estate investing is always buy for cash flow never for natural appreciation.

So if you sell when you leave, natural appreciation will likely not be sufficient to offset the closing costs, meaning you may end up losing money on the deal.Above, you had mentioned worse case scenario being you break even. 

Right now I work in a dirty, dangerous environment that is hazardous to health, so I want to transition into a new career and I really like the idea of commission based sale, love real estate, and plan on investing in the future I figure becoming a Realtor is the natural choice.

@Dylan ArvesonIt's natural for people to want to push the market but often it backfires if they push too hard.
