New to Rental Investing

[Austin Alexander]

Myself and my wife are brand new to rental investing.  We had enough cash that we have purchased two properties (3/2 and a mobile home) that we plan to rent.  We have LLCd recently and have begun renovating both properties.  

I will take any advice that anyone wants to give!!  Including good links to videos or other forums that are embedded here.   My goal is to take the immediate equity that we have after rehabing both properties and pour it into another one.  I have about 9 years left before I can retire from education and this is part of my retirement plan.

What are the financing options to pull money out for our next property?  What are some things I should know about screening tenants?
