Renting out properties have questions

[Jeremy Collins]

I am looking at buying a couple of rental properties. I have questions though.  This would be my first one or two properties I have owned, do I manage them on my own or do I have a property management company take care of them for me.  I work full time and am a full time student I am looking at doing this to supplement my income while I am in school.  I am looking at 3 bedroom homes as I have been told those are easier to rent out than 2 bedrooms.  I have talked with a couple of people and have gotten a lot of good information from them on subjects.  Also, I am looking for a realtor, what should I be looking for in an agent that will help me be more productive in my endeavor?  Any information would be greatly appreciated.
