Trying to figure out if the juice is worth the squeeze. 

But I need a portal where I can do the following -Customize the tenant application  ( Cozy does not  allow me to customize)- Have tenant Upload Pay stubs, DL, etc. 

Don't follow a strategy only to save on taxes.

The original owner on the title is her sister (my aunt), and my mother’s husband (not my biological father) is also listed on the title.

Also in the same week we bought two other houses, and ended the week with 5 houses in 5 days in 3 states. 

The internet makes the world very small.As far as buying out of state, one challenge I did not see any other replies mention is your occupancy. 

However, in areas with little appreciation, all investment capital must come from your savings.Summarizing, a city where you can achieve and sustain financial independence must have the following characteristics:Significant and sustained population growth.A pro-business environment with a metro population >1M.Rapid and sustained appreciation.If a city doesn't meet all these requirements, achieving and maintaining financial independence will be difficult.

The cheat sheet/example greatly reduced time.

Would love any tips/advice to move forward!  

Thank you all in advance for your feedback, wisdom, and tips.
