I bought several multi-family this way and negotiated financing terms that were better than the bank.Cody Davis started investing at 19.

I had started a meetup that was getting a solid build up, but unfortunately, Covid hit and I had to stop it.

When I establish LLCs I always ask my clients to have a meeting with a CPA from the start, even if they are going to file their taxes on their own. 

Note, I speak of this as an immigrant household.To expand on #3; international trade is good.

I was thinking of starting a rent increase for my 1 bedroom tenant voucher due it being low and well under fair market value(Based on  hud and zip code) but my tenant is in the process of having a caretaker for her disability and getting approved for a two bedroom voucher.

Best of luck on your journey, the DMV in my opinion is still one of the strongest markets in the US to get started in.  

I have recently started writing down addresses of run down or abandoned properties that I would like to purchase, but I only have the owner's name.

I’d like to start off by house hacking a multi-family unit. 

Getting an LLC in place from the start can provide peace of mind and give you a chance to familiarize yourself with the process before expanding your portfolio.
