Cheers to your journey ahead!

So you are ways ahead of where I was when I was 18, that's for sure.

Hi Mohammad-My pleasure and thank you for the follow-up question.I think you are in a great position and wise to be thinking about real estate investing as one of the vehicles to not only create passive income streams but offset your W-2 income.One of the strategies I see the doctors doing that I work with is purchasing short term rentals as they are more actively managed and it helps them be seen as a real estate professional for tax purposes based on the number of hours they are working in their real estate business which helps offset their W-2 income.

Add a "Long Term Stay Policy", so a long-term guest would need to cancel a month ahead.  

It's just switching out one retirement vehicle for another, and you have to do what's right for you.

In my experience, lots of section 8 recipients have limited access to personal vehicle.

Go ahead and be willing to put in the money toward a good contractor if you're not doing the work yourself.

I want tenants that pay on time and take good care of the property...... other than that I could not care less what their political views areUnless those displays are damaging your property in some way/shape/form, leave them aloneGo ahead and put it in your lease...... tell your tenants what the can/cant believe politically.... see how that goes.... hope you have a good attorneyWow... have we really come to this??

This is one of the better new investor posts I have read in a while because you know to stay in your day job and earn money to invest and you are also way ahead of the curve thinking about syndication (as close to passive as you can get) over flipping (don't do that with friends).Your job for the next months would be to go to every meetup locally that you can and read books focused on what you are thinking about first.

You want an LLC for ease of administration, trusts are kind of annoying as they can act as their own taxable vehicles as opposed to single-member or pass-through entities that an LLC can provide.
