I’ve also been saving up a large portion of my checks to go towards a future down payment for hopefully a multi-family property to start my house hacking journey.Just wanted to put myself out there but if there was anything you would tell a future real investor what would it be and I’d appreciate any advice given, Thanks. 

Without knowing much about the project you're looking at, that's where I'd look in the model

good luck @Anthony Ingua, I'd be tempted to use a more professional screening process at first, only because you are a first time landlord.  

If not, I'd be concerned that the needed skills aren't there.

I know I’d be able to adjust rents and/or pass on at least water and electric expenses down the road. 

I'm a property manager in NOVA, and I'd say 90% of my clients start by renting their primary residence that they have lived in for 3 to 5 years.

for example I’d need to make 18 at work to equal 9k rental income.So I calculated that with real estate I’m saving 35% fed 7.75% IL tax 7.25 Social security tax and 0.9% niit tax.50.6% savings ?

I am looking to put a lease together for a mid-term single family rental in South Philadelphia.If you happen to be an experienced landlord in Philadelphia and have a lease you'd be willing to share and I could use at least as my starting point I'd be super grateful.If not, what things should I make sure are in the lease?

I'd just like to know the specifics on what California law says about this kind of situation, without having to hire an attorney as this is rather minor.

Specifically, I'm interested in finding a lender that allows a 10% down payment on investment properties.If anyone here has experience investing in these areas or has any lender recommendations, I'd greatly appreciate your insights.
