Just buy some basic LTRs and relax, they take so much less work....

If you are having that much activity but cannot find the right tenant than you will want to lower the price just slightly to entice better tenants OR you can relax on your qualifications.

My property manager I don't think has a chance to relax, but she does have systems built around her to free up the time when it comes to regular maintenance and rent collection. 

So after being laid off a few times in the last 8 years I decided to get back into investing but this time focusing on buy and hold multi family real estate so that I could built wealth that could help me retire my wife who just had a long battle with cancer and survived , but is now back to work, and I want to give her a relaxing life free of all the stress of the world (by the way did I mention she is also in the mortgage lending field) so that explains the urgency to retire her from w-2 work ! 

It’s an economic asset for us, but also a place where we can relax.

My suspicion is, in this relatively relaxed lending environment, you will do well to learn for 100-500 hours and then just get started.

Everyone just relax and make sure you have adequate insurance, it'll be ok.....I agree, LLC overkill.

I hope you are having a nice and relaxing weekend!

California's economy, and real estate market, ain't going anywhere. " I literally want to vacation to San Diego"You should vacation in San Diego, it's a beautiful place to relax.

Hard part is keeping on the muscle mass.
