@Amanda Ferguson, what does the 18% get you for the PM fee? 

Hi all, First off I'd like to say if you aren't too familiar with real estate investing and the associated taxes I'd recommend the BP book by Amanda Han and Matthew MacFarland, The Book on Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor.  

In the last 2 months since we joined bigger pockets, I have read the following:How to Invest in Real Estate by Brandon Turner (Great Book)BRRRR by David Greene (Another Great Book)The Book on Tax Strategies by Amanda Han (Highly Recommend)The Book on Advanced Tax Strategies by Amanda Han (Great Book)Your Best Business Entity for Real Estate Investing by Michael Landtrip (Horrible Book, don't waste your time or money)Fortunately I have two international flights coming in the next couple of weeks with plenty of time on an airplane to read, so I want to make the most of my time. 

My names Amanda, I’m 28 and want to get into real estate investing in the next 1-2 years. 

Asking for a friend ;-)I’ve been researching, and am considering an investment in a class A, B 4-plex in the 600k-1m range that provides a .8% to 1% rent to purchase price ratio at 25% down, declaring 1 of the units as a primary residence, then executing cost segregation since the stock I liquidate would yield a 160k capital gain that I could offset (shoutout to Advanced Tax Strategies by Amanda Han for that thought).I could go the acquiring SFHs, but that seems like it’d be more overhead and not leverage my current positions.

Amanda, my wife is very debt adverse too.

Thanks,Amanda
