I don't really feel like i'm losing money on weekends if I'm not working, as i'll supplement downtime with something else (family time, working on house projects, check on rehabs i'm working on, etc). 

I worked 35 years in corporate to earn a pension, purchased rental income properties while I worked to supplement a early retirement reduced pension.

I also know that most people who purchase these programs do nothing with them or they are too generic that some location specific details are left out.So here I am, doing some homework. 

Thanks Henry, would a good property management company likely supplement my need of being more "hands-off"? 

I graduated in 2017 and am now starting my Master’s degree in social work, so since I’m going into this degree understanding I won’t be making a large salary in my career, I want to find a way to supplement my salary through getting into real estate investing.

Can I put down 5% with conventional loan and use the estimated rental income to supplement the rest of the loan?

Michael, another thing that I've found helpful with vacant houses, with or without deceased owners, is asking the neighbors some very generic questions about the owner/house.

The true numbers are very much case-by-case, and generic estimates are useless. 

My main focus has always been rentals/BRRRs, but I've been finding that flips are a really great supplement to building a portfolio and I'm looking to scale this side of my business as well. 

Looking into BPO's for career relevant supplemental income.
