Figured with the extra money I could save by moving into 2 family I could tackle those next

Know your numbers and have the confidence to strike knowing you'll need to tackle challenges as you move forward.

I feel I am delegating my jobs out well but it's not meeting my goal.I do the bookkeeping through Quickbooks which is another thing that I am currently tackling, the finances.

If the opportunity presents itself through friends and/or family, we will definitely tackle it. 

When you get ready to tackle Rainier let me know.

I love to see people from the Philly area joining (Almost everyday now it seems).I'm no expert but I'll try to tackle your questions as best as I can.1) I don't think the area should dictate your strategy or financing options.

I would suggest looking up the times and places on the Utah REIA and SLREIA's websites and going to those to figure out which niche you want to tackle. 

Do you think we should bring a contractor with us on our very first visit to the property or just go by ourselves and then decide if we even want to tackle the project.

If you do this and tackle that stident laon debt in 2 years you will have a pretty solid base both financially and knowledge wise.

Since fear has been tackled, I'll focus on failure itself.
