Due to the nature of the business in that you're dealing with more sophisticated investors, your breadth of knowledge must be that in which you can rub shoulders with these people and speak the same language. 

Armed with $20,000, youthful ambition, and (I quote my grandmother here) a good head on my shoulders.

If you have been involved with this site at all, you'd know that it's a business networking site that focuses on Real Estate Investors, so if you're looking for a shoulder or someone to tell you how to get one over on your landlord, you're in the wrong place.

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants" Isaac Newton.'

also be advised change of ownership and rent increase could lead to many of them leaving. so be prepared for vacancy and that may not be a bad thing then you can rehab them bring them up to standard and rent at market.its one of the little tricks I have used over the years. to get rid of tenants I did not like with out a big drama.. it seems if you just evict them they get pissed .. but if you tell them you need to increase the rent they just kind of shrug their shoulders and move on.. that's been my experience anyway

I'm sending you a connection request now.  330 before I jacked my shoulder. ;)

Seems like you have a decent enough head on your shoulders to know that living relatively frugally and house hacking is the way to go when you’re starting out.My personal recommendations as a future PA though, is look for jobs that will allow you to work 3 12 hour shifts a week as your full time job.

And they should be shouldering this financial burden if you chose not to. 

I would recommend joining your Local Real Estate Club in your area an rub shoulders with others. also listen to some Podcast on Bigger pockets of House Hacking.

You'd be putting a huge liability on your shoulders that is unnecessary and not smart for you and your family.
