If anyone has any recommendations on networks or networking tools, it would be greatly appreciated.  

Quote from @Marlin Yoder: Appreciate you sharing what you are doing in Ohio.

My name and my daughter’s name(s) are also in title and the loan.I have really good equity in both properties (six figure) with great interest rates.At some point my daughters and their husbands will move out to upgrade to something bigger.I want to turn these properties into investment properties after my daughters move out:  thinking the best way is to convert in my name only.Also considering leveraging the equity in the properties to help buy new homes/townhomes for my daughters when they are ready as well.Wondering what the best strategies would be for me to expand property portfolio, minimize tax impact , create more passive income while continuing to help my family grow.I appreciate any advice! 

Appreciates 2% or 5k and costs you 250k.

but you will have appreciation and equity paydown, but so would any property you buy with financing.  

Thanks in advance, your help is appreciated.

It's in great location that I'm confident will continue to appreciate.

The issue I see is that market has historical appreciation below average (not bad, but slightly poor).  

@Brie Schmidt, @Aaron Zimmerman thanks for your responses, I appreciate it. 

I appreciate the advice on house hacking and the financing strategies available for multi-family properties.I'm definitely interested in connecting and exploring investment opportunities.
