@Jeffery Jones you understand you'll be buying Class C & D properties, not in the best of areas?

You have to walk these properties, understand where the hidden costs are outside of the spreadsheets, and understand the geographic appreciation trend and migration and population as well, none of which will be in the questions you are asking. 

Since this would be my first long term rental property do you recommend starting with a property manager from the beginning or managing the property myself.I understand that there are pros and cons to all of these scenarios, I'm just looking for various insights.

You really want someone that invests in their market themselves and understands the numbers.
