When I add a new tenant to the lease, the original contract terms remain in place.

Start with a standard offer, and write a contingency into it for electricity, all the below ground utilities, and then work your way to zoning, permitting etc.

My advice would be to start small with your first deals to gain experience before scaling up.

I'd say just start your search with all 2-4 unit properties, and when you find one where the numbers make sense and it checks your other boxes (somewhere you actually want to live and house hack), then it probably makes sense. 

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking. 

I have a few questions- "We started an LLC" "We purchased a property" Who are the legal owners of the LLC? 

A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

Wow this place is beautiful. 

That precludes smaller places.
