I have decided not to pursue conventional higher education (i.e. college or tradeschool) I have no aversion to hard work but would rather utilize my blood sweat and tears to make myself money, not somebody else.I am fully aware real estate is not a get rich quick scheme so I'm coming to the forums to ask for any advice on what vehicle of real estate investing I should pursue...

You may want to request a free quote from a couple of agencies.Your PM costs seem conservative at around 14% but just check if they charge a fee to put tenants in place where they take a % pf the first months rent.

-Can you use the 5% down conventional instead of the 3.5% down FHA?

Sometimes they’ll charge you to initiate an eviction so if the tenant may be depositing money, you may want them to wait.

I would like to understand the lender possibilities both conventional and hard money lending!

@Roger HefnerDoes she charge you for that?

But AirBNB is free, other than the 3% credit card charge which you cannot escape no matter where you get guests.At the end of the day, having two listing companies is no more work than one.

List of contractors: List of handymen: List of real estate attorneys: List of investor specializing agents: List of local laws (or links to them): List of Portfolio lenders: List of Conventional lenders: Price guide for Spokane and Valley residential real estate:Nice haves: One nice thing for the datasheet would be for someone to create an aerial overlay that labels neighborhoods by the ABCD classification, allowing investors to automatically avoid A and D areas and concentrate more on the BC areas. 

If you're working with someone you trust it will take a ton of stress away when one of those challenges does pop up.VA loans are a little more nuanced than your standard conventional loan, but if you have any questions feel free to ask.

I am approved for a conventional loan. 25% down and closing costs would cost me around 70k.
