Thanks for all your advice @Jon Klaus and @Joel OwensOne of the random banks I emailed yesterday may be in on this.

I don't have any books to recommend, but I will tell you that you should start learning the math, and how to analyze properties by the numbers.Start looking at random properties for sale via the MLS, and try to find what you think would be a good rental in your area.

Bruno Tavares Just a random example.

i have a 10% off for lows and home depot already for my military discount and i get an additional 5% off at home depot for having a contractor account with them.i also already have connections with just about everyone in the business as far as contractors go, i even have some really awesome contractors have that agree to hourly rates along with others that are by the job.I am mainly asking to see what tricks people use besides the normal ones to ensure I'm not missing out on anything and to make sure i am not stuck in a one lane mind set. its always good to ask others what they do and ensure times are not changing around me.i honestly order a lot of my items online and have them shipped to the house and store them in the garage to have my contractors install them when they get there. i do spend a lot of time at the house waiting for delivery but i use that time to ensure all the work is being done to standard.one thing i have been thinking about lately is hiring some guys from a "ready work" company to do all of my clean ups. but i have yet to do this one and am not sure i fully trust random guys who will accept 10$ a hour to do what ever jobs they can pick up that day...i also have access to realtor direct flooring companies, and a discount painting company due to my va hook up. ill tell you what i have the hardest time finding deals on is cabinets and countertops

Simpson jury or with due respect some random judge who might be a raving leftist communist.My personal opinion if you plan on doing what you say no real reason not to utilize the arbitration model. 

A random example is if I buy a 100k house for 10k down.

I would say maintenance costs are almost completely random and depends on how many things there are to break.
