I appreciate any advice or suggestions you can share.

Stable job for 20+ years.

You can list all the reasons why you charge $250 for a one-time shoveling, but nobody will care when there are other vendors doing the exact same job for $100 or less.I'm in a city of 10,000.

My ultimate goal is to become successful with my real estate investments so I don’t have to rely so much on my job and be able to spend more time at home with my soon to be wife and future children.

I’d also love market suggestions and ideas regarding how to connect with others in the REI space outside of the events that BP holds.

The growing tech sector, infrastructure projects, and diverse job opportunities continue to drive population growth, making Atlanta a promising option for multi-family investments.

Over this time I have acquired my contractor team and have vetted them through my job as a property manager, figured out my strategy(Off Market/Deep buying) and location.

This is their full time job and they collect a fee but are still able to pass along strong deals to end buyers.

We would need to know your current operating expenses (and rent) to be able to provide any suggestions.

So if your interest payment is $1000 then the servicer automatically ACH debits your account that plus the servicing fee (assuming you set up automatic payments as @Christian Ehlers suggests).
