Hello, I am completely new to real estate investing and was hoping to find out from people who have been in the game for a while what a realistic earning potential would be from accumulating long term rentals over time. 

For experienced investors, do you see a scenario where an investor would assume the properties at a reduced rate which would allow us to cash out and them the opportunity to earn some easy money while holding the properties.For example: Say if we wait, we will sell the properties for $1M.

Can I just find a WA state attorney online and get the agreement reviewed?

I listen to people who are doing what they are saying, with their own hard earned savings.

Hi @Douglas Alexander, I've used the VA loan many times, but never for MFR.You can't use it for more than a 4-unit building, so 1-4 is OK, 5 or more... nope.Great plan though to house-hack it.Let me know how your research turns out ref. building from scratch.Could be an interesting idea... build like a 3/2 for your family and 3 more smaller units.Then when you move out, you can rent the 3/2 for more obviously and could earn some good cash flow.

Assuming tenants can place their maintanence request online, is that through your property management software (e.g.

I came across an online course professing that you don’t need to visit or live near the properties you manage.

Also, consider connecting with local real estate meet-ups or online communities like this one!

We have a PM and communicate wiht them. when we did not have one long ago we did not have any app or anything. we had them pay online or mail a check and put $ in quickbooks and if there was an issue they would call or email us.
