That property will be paid for here fairly soon and I couldn't be happier.

He was probably just running his mouth, but I'm concerned that if I speak to the landlord or report the situation to the authorities there might be trouble. 

Yeah, I guess they'd be happier with a 10-12% CF return because their equity grew only 5% over the last 5 years. 

Probate listings, auctions, bandit signs, word of mouth, newspaper ads, etc.  

That is from the mouth of the leader, that is what got him elected, and that is what the city is targeting.I own several rentals here in WF, not multifamily.

I started with my first househack: a duplex in 2005 that now rents for $950/ea, and in next years bought two more SFR that cashflow -> inspired by rich dad/poor dad reading and working construction while finishing an OPS degree at WWU.Operated a seasonal campground, self employed in the off season and just saving pennies like a mad-man while the family grew and happily had to feed more mouths.

You should also list your educational degrees and some the places where you have very successfully worked, so potential clients will know all of the things you have done in the past that would make them want to listen to anything you might have to say ... oh ... and also for them to be willing to pay money to hear what might come out of your mouth!

Word of mouth will grow your designing business from there.

@Jeremy JacksonUS Bank provided me with that type of loan but before that my sister spoke with multiple Mortgage Loan Officers stating that they all require 25% down at least for multi unit and one word of mouth from one loan officer lead us to find a loan officer that would let me do 5% down owner occupied that ended up being 10% down. 

Get it straight from the horse's mouth.
