However, I do not have a lot of time after coming home from work and was considering using a virtual assistant to write finance blogs for my agent website to drive up my SEO and Google search engine results/ and or to create graphics for my Instagram while I was at my day job.

Are you in private practice, a staff position somewhere or both?

Perhaps not a common practice but there were my eyes and ears and I trusted their judgement to handle and manage accordingly.

Can you pitch a target market as a standard of practice?

Here is a 3-2 that I did a practice analysis on to see.

I’ve been analyzing and practicing how to figure things out.

Is it best practice to always invest in all real estate properties under an LLC?

Or is common practice to make an offer then find a buyer?

I've seen this relaxed to 2.5X depending on location and the price of your unit. if rent is 4k a month then 2.5% is 10k a month gross that gives them 6k a month before tax to live on.. if rent is 700 a month I think it needs to go the other way  4X  that gives them 2100 a month to live on as opposed to 3X were they are living on maybe 1k a month that's a pretty precarious situation for many one flat tire and rent gets missed :)  I am not saying you are wrong in the intent to make sure there is enough living money, but in practice I have found that my cheaper units (class C) have the tenants paying a higher percentage of their income to rent and they simply live on not much money.My B class properties can get tenants easily at 3X the monthly rent (start at ~$2.5K (3 BR) and go up to ~$4K (3 BR)). 

I think you could take practically any industry and play out a scenario in which this will have a major effect on that industry and it's employees.
