Welcome to the BP community!  What a great opportunity you get to have being in a cool town like New Orleans!  House-hacking with DIY skills will help you out greatly!  Best of Luck to you!

Welcome Adam!  Thanks for teaching the next generation.  Louisville is a great city, best of luck with your investing there.  Large families are fun families!  Way to be debt free, you have a leg up on CRUSHING it now.  Nice goals!  My wife is a former Third Grade teacher who is now a stay at home Mom.  Start checking out any Bigger Pocket Meet Ups in your area to find people that you can work together with.

Cheers!

Welcome to Bigger Pockets, this is a great community for investors.  Start searching the forums and posting in them also, it is one of the best ways to find more info and meet people that are interested in finding out the same things.

Best of luck to you!

We got you coming in loud and clear, welcome to the Bigger Pockets community! 

Hard work and enthusiasm will get you far in the investing world.  Hopefully you can quickly find other investors to meet up with, and get to your first success very soon.

Best of luck!

Hello Gernot, Man you are lucky to be living up there in God's country, I am jealous.  You should check in the forums to see if there are any Bigger Pocket Meet Up groups near you.  Meet Ups are a great way to find other investors, and help each other solve problems together.

Best of Luck to you!

Hey Jeremy, welcome to the Bigger Pockets community!

It looks like you have some great experience already in the Real Estate world, maybe we all will get to meet you as a guest on the podcast someday.

Welcome To Bigger Pockets! Listening to the podcasts is a great way to learn, grow, and get encouragement. And, the BP Books are a wonderful resource too!

Best of luck to you when you get back from Japan!

Welcome to BP, this truly is a great community to help new investors get going.

I love that you have begun crunching the numbers for the type of property that you guys are interested in for investment.  You now have some really good info to give to a real estate agent and get going.  You have stated a great plan.  Why wait for a few years, how about getting your first two family house closed on by July 1, 2020?  That way you don't have to try and figure out how many years a "few" years really are.

Good luck with your investments!

I second what Richard has to say about getting familiar with time and cost of rehab.  I would suggest quickly getting a contractor or two lined up that you can work with easily.

Also, have a meeting with your business friends to determine exactly what everyone's role is, and what is expected from each individual throughout the entire project.

Good Luck with your future investments!
