Based on the location, which based on the other comments appears to be prime, I think it is a matter of choosing what aspects of your property will appeal the most to potential renters and what may add the most value to them. 

Pennsylvania does require a real estate license for certain aspects of property management, such as entering into leases, but owners that self manage are exempt.

Thanks Sorry, not in a forum post, look at the aspects I mentioned and each requiring analysis, there is no rule of thumb, golden rule, begin by understanding that every property is unique, no other property is identical on the face of the earth.

Welcome to BP community @Sean Winfield  It is a great place to meet new friends and learn about various aspects of real estate and more.

@Jimmy WatsonPay attention to what Jay said...you may go into a deal with more than your target in the deal, but you can do that strategically on some deals, knowing you are going to force appreciation that you can then leverage on the refi to get you down to your target.But, in this market, to get to a zero to low money down buy & hold deal, you're going to have to go off-market.  

Look for other investors that are seasoned in this aspect for help...and ask questions here on BP.

Is it strategic to create your own website and have ALL of your properties listed on the website.

I'm not sure doing the master lease or the employee option will work in this particular situation because of the reimbursement aspect.  

The courses you are taking all revolve around national and state specific legal aspects of becoming a real estate agent. 

I also have several motion sensors strategically placed.
