If you have questions about the civil engineering aspect, feel free to reach out or post specific questions and I'd be happy to offer my thoughts. 

REPS hours.4) Getting ready to rent the property pre-close but post-contract:  Understanding HOA rules and incorporating them into proforma lease agreements; preparing and posting rental advertisements; shopping for, selecting, and purchasing furnishings to equip the house to be put on the rental market.  

Any recommendations, thoughts or advise would be greatly appreciated !!!

I agree with Ko. my first thought was that you could try to find a small multi-family to purchase with a low down payment loan. 

So we have a networth so far of:104k - 15k = 89kBut, we depreciated the property for 2 years at 3.7k/yr total 7.4K taxable amount  which we would owe about 1.8k at 25% tax rate (I might be off a bit here and there)Final total net worth from what we thought it was 120k now is 87.1k which is a big difference!

@Nate  Do you mind sharing the details of the attorney you used for the lease preparation? 

I hold enough to cover a roof out of pocket if needed.I appreciate what thoughts/insight/experience folks have had, thanks.

Always be prepared for worst case scenarios.A place that could help is on turn overs. 

Prepare to get your lunch eaten, @Armand P. 

Thanks a ton for reading my post and sharing any thoughts or advice!
