There is a BP podcast where Brad Dantonio talks about his financial independence while owning only 5 units!

Obviously this will be my first time land lording any major hurdles or suggestions to research on this topic?

I've actually been trying to enlighten all my soldiers on the simple house hack of buying a duplex with their VA loan and then have a property manager because lord knows they won't have the time to focus on the day to day. 

I look at all these folks that say hey there are no deals its tough I am going to sit on the sidelines until it crashs and jump back in.. well that's fine from a land lord or own a rental perspective.. but this year will be our best in new construction.

The term "landlord"  or "land lord"  has always seemed like an old term left over from the 1800's when my ancestors were both peasants and poor tenant farmers paying monthly rent to the more wealthy owners. 

I will echo what @Brad Schaeppi says in that you should work on a team. 

-Where are state specific lease agreements that I can access for land lording? 

Often credit can be put aside when tenants have other strong characteristics like a high paying job, and long rental history, with glowing recommendations from both employer and previous land lord.
