If that is their career or job, their attitude changes drastically.Is this what competitive nature is? 

The house was a gut job 8 years ago and it's currently in great shape, it's in a great neighborhood in the city and all units are in great shape and recently renovated.

I'm operating from Michigan and am able to take occasional trips down to Indy to keep an eye on progress.     

The company subs out the larger jobs, and we have very little control over how much a plumber costs, etc.

I currently have a part-time job which allows me to start saving up for it and I have been able to save up a meaningful amount since I started working a year ago which I put in the stock market for now. 

With the job, I would recommend looking for something with a large property management company such as FirstKey, Invitation Homes, American Homes for Rent, etc. since there is no better way to learn the industry from the inside out. 

@Joshua Paul pick up some side jobs to help save money.

The guy I used said there’s good money in it s long as you’re available every time you to do a job.

Since this will be a part-time job for me aside from my work full time job, I plan to start small, with just a single triplex or quadplex.

On top of those 'three jobs' we've got 5 kids aged 7-11 between the two of us.
