And then I got my real estate license in WA.So, if you want to get more efficient in your time spending in expanding your portfolio, I'd say go with an agent who will bring you the most value and safe your time.

Then you are "allowed" to spend the remaining $850 on mortgage and other items.For my Bookkeeping Clients, I suggest to them to use a Savings account for these items to add interest income to their account until they need it.

You can spend as little as $100 to form an LLC, or you could use an attorney and spend $1,000 or more.

They spend $50k on rehab in 2 months.  

I simply called you out on your errors, that I believe will mislead people that will cause them to spend money on the systems YOU are advertising and spamming these forums with that will highly likely not work.Here is my suggestion:If you want to make a point, if you want to convince anyone of anything, I would suggest showing data.

. - Also, spend some time before/after to drive by comparable properties in the neighborhood to understand your competition and the rents they are asking. 

Hi guys, I'm new here and to real estate I'm originally from Asheville, NC but the Army moved me to Clarksville, TN I'm looking forward to getting my first rental property and keep learning and expanding my portfolio so I can set myself up in a better position for the future so I can spend more time with family and friends and not be forced to have a W2 job for 50+ hours a week.

Oops, "spend" time, sorry for typo.

As a prior renter I had a proposed rent raised from $2800 to $3500 (with no upgrades/changes to the unit or building), a 25% increase, which I definitely could not afford at the time, and forced me to spend a bunch of money moving.  

You should just get started; don't get into analysis paralysis trying to find the perfect strategy.The only downside here is that you will be doing a lot of moving, so make sure the family is on board, or else after the second move, you may be spending all your profits on a marriage counselor... just kidding.
