Might be worth doing some soul searching to make sure that is the direction you guys want to go. 

You'll want to search for a property management company to handle it for you.

Quote from @Ashley Mierez: I would search local meetups..

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

Quote from @Isuf Aruci: i live in the NY area and would love to build a house or a mid apartment building. but the land search is very very difficult. also lets say i found the land, where would i get information and see if its buildable, also how do you calculate a land to see if its worth building or not.   

Was just doing a  search on Google and realized I'm on page 6 for the first time in "forever".Not sure if it's due to Google search being that good or lack of effort.When is the last time YOU clicked past first page search results?

Doing a quick search, I see a bunch of duplexes in and around Austin available in the price range you are talking about, if that's where you are from and want to live in the future.

The difference is night and day between using someone you find online or in a search vs a personal referral. 

Howdy all, I've searched many of the forums and found a lot of good information on virtual assistants.
