Hello,I want to start learning about investing rental properties (preferably multi-family) and was wondering ways to get started.

I appreciate your advice and will definitely consider the suggestions you provided.Best regards,Victor

Any tips, videos or ideas anyone could suggest to help us make our first move possibly a step towards investing in real estate? 

Passive income and retire early, or leave your W2, get rich quick, replace your W2 income - they will tell you that you can have this wonderful lifestyle and will give you insights on how to get there (that you can get from any business book about grit, consistency, hard work etc) and they will bounce around in their presentations to make it look really hard, and then get you to sign up for the five figure training which is 1 on 1.Whats comical is I am in note space and I can name three people who have high dollar training and one has filed BK several times and the other two owe others millions of dollars from bad deals........

We also used Sarah's shopping list to help us furnish them properly for medical travelers; she has great suggestions with links to the best prices.

I would suggest making sure you are screening your tenants very carefully.

I am using the RentRedi software, and it suggested that we receive rents using a business checking account and not a personal bank account.

Realtor friend suggested a bridge loan or Heloc but neither seem viable from my research.I would think there would be a way to leverage the equity in my current home in this situation?

Quote from @J Case: The PM is supposed to disclose all fees charged to you; they typically don't have to tell you what they are charging other people.However, you may have a legitimate complaint if they charge the tenant extra for appliances when they belong to you.My suggestion?

Get it stabilized with a good tenant, a little lower rent if you have to, I am tempted to suggest skip the PM and put your own time in - but I don't know your people skills.As an exit strategy, either keep them rented or sell them to your tenants with a lease option.
