They are doing a good job of training, but I want to find a book, site, forum, etc that covers the mechanics of all the paperwork from listing to closing.

However, the new rental is a new property to me and while I'm doing everything I can to have all the pieces working, I might miss something.I have had a vacation out of the country scheduled for about 9 months(before I even thought about buying this property).

Only about 5 months ago a got a good job instead of part time construction jobs so I'm just now able to start saving money. 

I have spoken to them both about overall investment into my business but, as much as they saw the upside, didn't have the time away form their jobs to see how their money is being used and to help keep track.

Commercial loans do typically have higher interest rates, shorter amortizations schedules, and balloon payments.

I understand the upside in real estate and I also understand the treadmill of my corporate job which will not achieve what I need in the time I need it.

You have a solid job it appears and use that to buy a duplex and get into investing.  

What has job growth and population growth been over the past couple years and where is it projected?
