Less than an hours work, everything online approved within a few days.I recently decided to stretch myself a bit and start putting my holdings into series LLCs. 

You may want to start with the BP agent finder for those markets and then work with them to find good PMs and lenders.

Seconding what @Max Wilhite said, Multi-Family is a great way to get started.

I’m just getting started on my rental journey.

For your mortgage, a 30-year loan will give you lower monthly payments, which could be ideal while starting out.

I don’t have a specific recommendation off the top of my head, but for HOA/condo insurance, it’s usually best to start with a broker who specializes in multifamily or association policies.

Starting to regret our good will to help them because it's a hassle to get it rerented and they are getting on our nervesWe did put it in writing in an email that they owe us for the entire term but that we would work to get another tenant.  

I just don't want to start working with a realtor and waste time and end up with no real solid prospects for buying.

In other words, you get $1.6 million in commitments and call for 37.5% at closing and the rest when it’s time to start construction.  

In my personal experiences a lot of structural items start with bad drainage.
