The 15k+ salary will be nice, but if its not regular like you've said, it would be smart to have a backup account of some sort just in case.

You'll learn all the nuts and bolts without pulling out your hair. 

As someone starting out, I just wanted to get a take from more experienced rental property investors.I want to present you with two routes that a guy like me is considering to take: 1) save up capital generated from some sort of active income (a job or side hustle) and then get my feet wet by investing in a lower class, lower capital intensive area/property OR 2) find a willing partner with money they are willing to invest with me and use their cash as leverage for something like the down payment or any repairs that needs to be made.From my current perspective, Option 1 will take more time, but provides me a little more security in the sense that I'm not putting anyone else's money at risk nor am I diving into the deep end of a higher end market (in my case, Southern California).

Once you move into a triplex or four Plex they use some sort of formula based on the rents and the property that can make it difficult to qualify most multi units under FHA guidelines.  

Hello BiggerPockets, I've been sort of lurking for long time and trying to educate myself, but after doing a little math at the end of 2019 and realizing that from mid-2017 to the end of 2019 our net worth went up about 10% total, I have realized that I need to try and make 2020 the year I try to start actually making deals.A little about myself: My wife and I have "decent" paying W2 jobs which take up most of our time, so we are looking for something a little more passive (NNN or Apartment Syndication are the two that seem the "jump out" at me through my research).

I don't know if I should mention this to Agent A, say something to Agent B, talk to both of them or ignore both of them until they sort it out.

I looked at my escrow information online and they paid not only the correct tax bill but also the tax bill for the other property on the same street that i do not have a loan on.I called in October 2019 to sort it out but I got the run around.

I'm leaning more towards making it a long term rental as opposed to selling the property to acquire some sort of cash flow.

She was so uncomfortable with our first mortgage to the point I had to rent it out and buy another cash to get her hair to grow back.

If you take the self-management approach, there are definitely some tools that can help with managing things moving forward but my natural assumption is that no matter how easy the on-boarding is, tenants will probably still want some sort of hand-holding through that change management process.
